  • Extend visibility to third-party, subsidiary, and cloud-hosted footprints, and partner with Penetration Testing, Product Security, and Exposure Response to operationalize findings.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in attack surface management, vulnerability management, security operations, or exposure management.
