   Lead enterprise vulnerability assessments using Qualys, identifying misconfigurations and unpatched systems. Automate certificate discovery and mapping using Python, and coordinate with asset owners to remediate exploitable vulnerabilities before escalation.• Design and implement secure cloud architectures across AWS, Azure, and GCP, applying principles of least privilege, identity federation, workload isolation, and encryption-in-transit/at-rest to meet security and compliance standards.• Collaborate with SOC teams to perform SIEM health checks and fine-tune detection logic, while optimizing CASB policies to monitor and alert on shadow IT, data exfiltration, and unauthorized SaaS usage.• Configure and manage core security infrastructure, including NGFWs, endpoint protection platforms, and encryption protocols (TLS, IPsec), to ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and availability across hybrid environments.• Lead proof-of-concept evaluations of security tools (EDR, DLP, SOAR), documenting technical outcomes, testing efficacy in lab and production-like environments, and presenting results to leadership for purchase and integration decisions.• Develop Python-based automation scripts to monitor malicious URLs and IP addresses, integrate with threat intelligence feeds, and trigger automated containment actions (firewall blocks, ticket creation) to reduce manual intervention.• Conduct network security assessments to evaluate segmentation, access controls, and protocol security. Design and implement layered security architectures addressing gaps in network visibility, perimeter defense, and east-west traffic control using best practices (Zero Trust, CIS benchmarks).• Perform security policy audits and compliance reviews against frameworks like NIST, ISO 27001, and CIS, identifying deviations and recommending improvements to meet internal and regulatory requirements.
