Knowledge of securing AI systems — including AI pipelines, MLOps practices, data platform security, model registries, and inference endpoints
Experience with AI-specific threats and controls: adversarial robustness, data integrity, model theft, and supply chain security
Solid grounding in Identity and Access Management, including PAM, IGA, ITDR, and machine/non-human identity governance
Familiarity with SIEM platforms (e.g. Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk) and SOAR tooling
Awareness of AI governance frameworks and standards (NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, EU AI Act)
