• Fully understand and communicate the “why” of prioritized objectives to help clarify outcomes and be the strategic partner in driving and designing a business unit’s security roadmap.
• Understand and internalize the key capabilities of the Adobe security program and be the key connection point to security within a business unit, translating security’s tactical strategy to broad risk management principles.
• Make decisions on behalf of security to solve specific business risk problems.
• Continuously identify security threats, vulnerabilities, and work with product and engineering leaders to work through mitigation plans.
