- Manage temporary ACLs and policy exceptions, including ownership, expiration dates, and remediation.
- Develop automated policy validation checks to identify non-compliant configurations before production.
- Apply least-privilege principles across network devices, hosts, and cloud environments.
- Collaborate with engineering and infrastructure teams to resolve connectivity challenges while balancing operational needs and security controls.
- Use scripting, APIs, and policy governance tools to improve visibility, simplify reviews, and detect configuration drift.
