Key Responsibilities

Security Engineering & Operations
Lead design, deployment, and continuous optimization of cybersecurity controls across enterprise IT, cloud, and OT environments.
Own high-priority vulnerability workflows from discovery and exploit validation through remediation verification and closure evidence.
Drive modernization of security operations by improving triage quality, reducing remediation cycle time, and increasing consistency of closure standards.
Establish technical direction for security tooling and telemetry (SIEM, EDR/XDR, vulnerability management, IAM, endpoint security) with measurable risk-reduction outcomes.
Secure Systems & Product Support
Partner with infrastructure, application, and product teams to embed secure-by-design architecture and implementation standards.
Provide senior-level guidance on mitigation strategies for critical product vulnerabilities, including compensating controls where immediate fixes are not feasible.
Support and review secure development practices, threat modeling, and security design decisions across major initiatives.
Build developer-aligned remediation packages (technical rationale, validation criteria, evidence expectations) that improve fix adoption and quality.
Governance, Risk & Compliance
Ensure controls align with Abbott policy, regulatory obligations, and industry standards (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST, FDA cybersecurity guidance, HIPAA).
Translate security findings into risk-informed prioritization and defensible treatment plans for leadership and compliance stakeholders.
Strengthen audit readiness by standardizing security evidence and control documentation across teams.
Collaboration, Leadership & Continuous Improvement
Act as a senior technical leader across Cybersecurity and Compliance, influencing priorities and execution without direct authority.
Mentor engineers and raise team capability in vulnerability analysis, remediation quality, and evidence rigor.
Lead continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen end-to-end ownership and reduce handoff-related rework.
Added Scope Aligned to Current Team Contributions
Advance Vulnerability Operations automation and AI-assisted workflow improvements to reduce manual triage and improve consistency of findings-to-closure execution (aligned with Ben Williams’ current focus areas).
Lead cloud control lifecycle maturity efforts including Cloudflare rule governance, change traceability, and control effectiveness monitoring (aligned with Logen Autry’s current delivery patterns).
Expand access governance automation (e.g., recurring access/user listing analysis and entitlement hygiene workflows) to improve identity risk visibility and decision speed.
Operationalize repeatable, scalable practices that convert tactical remediation work into long-term control maturity improvements.
