• Ensuring that all integrations are consistent with security policies and best practices, focusing on minimizing risks and operational disruptions during implementation.

• Documenting integration plans, technical specifications, testing procedures, and deployment guides for Zero Trust solutions and technologies.

• Providing subject matter expertise on Zero Trust architecture, principles, and implementation to security teams, senior stakeholders, and other engineers.

• Mentoring junior engineers and team members on Zero Trust integration strategies, security technologies, and best practices.

• Evaluating and recommending new security technologies, tools, and processes to continuously improve the organization’s Zero Trust security posture.

• Monitoring and analyzing the performance and security of integrated systems, providing recommendations for enhancements and optimization.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

Required Skills:

• 10+ years experience in implementing Zero Trust principles and technologies across enterprise systems.

• Hands-on experience with EDR, SOAR, and Comply to Connect tools and their integration into diverse IT infrastructures.

• Deep understanding of identity and access management, authentication protocols, and least-privilege access strategies.

• Experience working with security technologies to enforce security policies, monitor threats, and automate responses.

• Proficient in system integration, including integrating security tools within Windows and Linux environments.

• Strong knowledge of network security, endpoint security, and security automation.

• Experience with security frameworks, including NIST 800-53, CIS, and ISO 27001, in relation to Zero Trust deployments.

• Expertise in security incident response, threat detection, and compliance monitoring across a hybrid IT environment.

Desired Skills:
