• Conduct IAM and SSO access reviews, covering users, roles, groups, service accounts/service principals, permissions, access keys and privileged access, and identify excessive or stale access.

• Identify and assess publicly exposed cloud resources, insecure network configurations and unnecessary external exposure across compute, storage, databases, load balancers and other cloud services.

• Integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines, including SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, Infrastructure-as-Code scanning, container/image scanning, DAST and software supply-chain controls.

• Perform Infrastructure-as-Code security reviews and support secure implementation of Terraform and similar technologies.
