  • Experience with ServiceNow and ServiceNow integrations.
  • Experience with policy exception risk management, balancing security risk against business requirements.
  • Experience with security vulnerability remediation and enterprise security log collection and management.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills to explain complex data to non-technical stakeholders.
