Experience designing secure segmentation models (zero-trust, micro-segmentation), next-gen firewalls, and secure remote access solutions.
Familiarity with enterprise protocols and technologies such as SAML/OAuth, API security, and associated risks in cloud-native environments.
Experience operating in regulated, business-critical, or high-availability enterprise settings.
Ability to translate technical risk into clear architectural decisions for engineering and business audiences.
