• Implement and maintain DLP controls across email, endpoints, and SaaS
• Run endpoint patching and vulnerability management, and coordinate remediation with owning teams
• Run POCs and rollouts of IT security tools – evaluating vendors, testing controls, and deploying them in collaboration with IT and external vendors
• Secure the companys use of AI tools – implement guardrails for AI assistants, coding agents, and MCP integrations, and build detections for AI-specific threats such as prompt injection and data exfiltration via connectors
