  • DevSecOps & Automation: Integrate security best practices into the CI/CD pipelines, ensuring that security is embedded throughout the software development lifecycle. Utilize automation tools such as Terraform, Deployment Manager, and Ansible to enforce security policies consistently and efficiently.​
  • Incident Response & Remediation: Lead the investigation and resolution of security incidents within GCP environments. Develop and maintain incident response plans, conduct post-mortem analyses, and implement measures to prevent future occurrences.​
  • Security Awareness & Advisory: Serve as a subject matter expert on cloud security, providing guidance and training to internal teams. Stay abreast of emerging threats and security technologies, advising on proactive measures to enhance the organization's security posture.​

Skills & Tools:

  • GCP Security Services: Proficient in Google Cloud Security Command Center, Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP), Google Cloud Armor, and Advanced API Security features for comprehensive security management.​
  • Compliance & Governance: In-depth knowledge of regulatory frameworks and standards such as NIST, CIS, GDPR, and ISO/IEC 27017. Experience in conducting risk assessments and implementing governance structures to ensure compliance.​
  • IAM & Network Security: Expertise in role-based access control, encryption methodologies, and VPC security configurations to safeguard cloud environments.​
  • Threat Detection & Incident Response: Experience with SIEM tools, continuous monitoring solutions, and forensic analysis techniques to detect and respond to security incidents effectively.​
  • DevSecOps & Automation: Skilled in utilizing Terraform, Deployment Manager, and Ansible to automate security implementations and integrate security into DevOps workflows.​
  • Cloud Platforms: Primary expertise in GCP, with additional knowledge of AWS and Azure to support multi-cloud security strategies.​
  • OWASP Guidelines: Familiarity with OWASP Cloud-Native Application Security Top 10 and OWASP Secure Coding Practices to identify and mitigate common cloud security risks.​
  • Secrets Management: Proficiency in implementing secure methods for handling sensitive data, including encryption and secure storage solutions, as outlined in OWASP Secrets Management Cheat Sheet.​
