Maintain a broad understanding of major cloud service providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) and their respective vulnerabilities to identify and escalate critical risks.

• Lifecycle Management:

Demonstrate sound program management by documenting and communicating action plans, impediments, and risks to stakeholders.

• Policy Recommendation:

Research industry practices and regulatory changes; make recommendations to change policies and control programs to mitigate evolving risks in the cloud.
