• Investigate and analyze system security notifications, baseline changes, and configuration updates to ensure compliance with approved authorization requirements

• Support incident investigations, system recovery validations, and troubleshooting to ensure secure restoration of system operations

• Collaborate with engineering, operations, cybersecurity teams, and system owners to resolve security issues and maintain compliant system configurations
