Application & Container Security
Implement container and Kubernetes security best practices (RBAC, network policies, image scanning)
Apply application security principles aligned with OWASP Top 10
Manage secrets and sensitive credentials using tools such as Azure Key Vault and AWS Secrets Manager
Identity, Governance & Compliance
Implement IAM, RBAC, and Zero Trust principles across environments
Support vulnerability management and remediation workflows
Contribute to compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and CIS benchmarks
