Possess a deep understanding of cloud-based security technologies, including firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, vulnerability scanners, and log analysis tools.

As with any role, the exact role responsibilities will fluctuate and evolve. We are looking for versatile team members who thrive on new challenges and can readily adapt to additional responsibilities beyond those listed above.

Preferred Experience and Qualifications:

Experience with cloud-based platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
Ability to troubleshoot security access issues effectively and efficiently, interacting with key functional/business stakeholders as necessary to resolve NS2 Security/GRC errors/exceptions.
