- Perform comparative evaluation, testing, implementation and optimization of industry standard PAM solutions
- Improve PAM policies, standards, and best practices aligned with regulatory and compliance requirements (e.g. PCI-DSS, NIS2, ISO 27001, SOX).
- Partner with the GRC teams to conduct risk assessments and threat modeling specific to privileged access scenarios.
- Manage lifecycle of privileged accounts, including discovery, onboarding, rotation, monitoring, and offboarding.
