• Support the deploy of centralized Key Management Systems (KMS), including cloud-native KMS (AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, OCI KMS), and enterprise HSMs
• Ensure robust data encryption methodologies are applied to data stored in databases, applications, and IoT connected devices.
• Collaborate with cloud security and DevSecOps teams to integrate encryption and key management into CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployments.
• Develop IoT encryption frameworks to secure IoT devices.
• Support the integration of encryption solutions into applications, databases, cloud services, IoT platforms, and enterprise infrastructure.
• Collaborate with application security, infrastructure, and DevSecOps teams to embed cryptographic security controls into software development and deployment processes.
• Support post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness by evaluating and preparing for emerging threats to encryption security.
• Ensure compliance with NIST 800-57, PCI DSS, FIPS 140-2/3, ISO 27001, GDPR, FFIEC, and IoT security (NIST 800-183, ETSI EN 303 645).
• Developing governance frameworks for encryption and cryptographic key management, including policies for key storage, access control, logging, and auditing.
• Conduct risk assessments, vulnerability testing, and security reviews for cryptographic implementations, IoT ecosystems, and cloud security controls.
• Act as a key stakeholder in security audits, regulatory assessments, and IoT security standardization efforts.
• Provide Technical support and training to internal teams on encryption best practices, cloud security, and IoT security.
• Stay ahead of advancements in cryptographic algorithms, quantum computing risks, and emerging IoT security frameworks.
• Drive innovation in encryption automation, integrating key management with DevSecOps, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
