• Experience deploying and customizing security tools to address threats and lower risk, including vulnerability scanners, static analyzers, web application firewalls (WAFs), intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and endpoint security monitoring.
• A comprehensive grasp of cloud and network security, including an in-depth understanding of Kubernetes.
• Experience in GCP specifically with one or more of the following services: Security Command Center, GKE, Cloud IDS, Cloud Armor, and Secrets Manager.
