With your technical knowledge and commitment, you will actively contribute to strengthening the organization’s security. We prefer that you have a broad understanding of networks, operating systems, and cloud environments, as well as experience with security tools and automation. To succeed in this role, it’s important that you are helpful and have strong communication skills, as you will work closely with other teams within the organization.
