• Understanding of least privilege access and ability to implement it in the things we are building as well as the tools the team supports (Github, DataBricks, AWS, Jira, Confluence, Microsoft Sharepoint).
• Critical vs High vs other vulnerability types in hosts, containers, code, and infrastructure and best practices around prioritizing, isolating, and remediating these issues.
