• Configure and maintain advanced security capabilities including Privileged Identity Management (PIM) and identity protection tools.
• Ensure proper monitoring, logging, and alerting mechanisms to detect and respond to potential security threats.
• Handle incidents and service requests efficiently, working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure service reliability.
