  • Integrate security validation platforms with tools such as SIEM, EDR, SOAR, CMDB, vulnerability management, and ticketing systems using APIs or other methods.
  • Identify and implement opportunities to enhance the security validation program's effectiveness and efficiency.
  • Maintain accurate documentation of platform configurations, test plans, and operational procedures.
