Additional skills - Effective communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to convey complex information clearly to technical and non-technical audiences. - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to lead cross-functional collaborations and drive technical security initiatives. - Ability to quickly learn, adapt, and lead in fast-paced and dynamic technical environments.
