A day in the life
Your day starts with a sweep of model telemetry: you review anomalies the detection tooling surfaced overnight, triage them, and open an investigation into an adversarial input pattern against a deployed model. You pull forensic data to establish what happened, drive the incident through containment, and capture the learning as a new detection. Midday, you review a scanning rule and integrate an AI/ML security automation tool into the pipeline. In the afternoon, you document after-action findings and coordinate reporting among the team.
