By supporting file integrity monitoring initiatives and collaborating with cyber security teams, you will help reduce operational risk while improving overall security posture. Your expertise will be instrumental in driving continuous improvement projects aimed at automating processes for patching, compliance monitoring, vulnerability remediation, reporting enhancements, operational controls optimisation, and governance visibility. You will also support the strategic adoption of advanced platforms like Tanium for enhanced endpoint visibility, inventory management, compliance monitoring, patch automation, third-party software patching integration with ServiceNow workflows—all while aligning global standards through close collaboration with international technology teams.

You possess comprehensive understanding of cyber security controls necessary for maintaining infrastructure security baselines; this includes file integrity monitoring techniques used in endpoint control initiatives.
