Lead the establishment and maturation of enterprise security architecture frameworks across infrastructure, cloud, and applications.
Integrate threat modeling into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to identify, prioritize, and mitigate architectural flaws early.
Define, maintain, and enforce security policies, baseline standards, and secure design patterns.
Develop reusable security reference architectures, data flow diagrams, and threat maps to accelerate secure delivery.

Risk and Compliance

Oversee application security assessments, secure design reviews, and risk analyses for critical systems.
Assess systemic risks and prioritize remediation strategies in ambiguous or rapidly changing environments.
Define risk-based security controls aligned with industry frameworks (e.g., NIST, OWASP, ISO 27001).
Proactively identify architectural risks and software vulnerabilities to safeguard corporate resilience and regulatory compliance.

Architecture Research

Maintain currency with leading Security Architecture frameworks, security capabilities and threat modeling methodologies.
Monitor evolving global threat vectors, vulnerability trends, and security technologies to keep enterprise designs future-ready.
Evaluate security tooling, lead proofs-of-concept for security controls, and drive innovation in automation of security tooling.
Partner with third-party vendors and system integrators to ensure external solutions meet organizational security standards.
