  • Implement software supply chain security including SBOM generation, artifact signing, and provenance validation
  • Develop detection-as-code and automated response capabilities to reduce reliance on manual security operations
  • Design and enforce controls to secure AI systems and prevent misuse, data leakage, and model risk
  • Leverage AI to improve detection, analysis, and automation across security operations
  • Translate regulatory requirements into enforceable technical controls and automated evidence generation
  • Eliminate manual security processes in favor of scalable engineering-driven solutions
