  • Modern Security: Familiarity with Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) and Least Privilege principles.

• Soft Skills

  • Problem Solver: You don't just fix the symptom; you find the root cause in the protocol trace.

  • Communicator: Ability to explain complex authentication flows to non-technical stakeholders (e.g., HR or Legal).
