• Assist in integrating Netskope with additional cloud systems or applications as required by system owners, ensuring proper functionality and security alignment.
• Conduct risk assessments for apps, scripts, and extensions submitted via a request process. Ensure risk analysis follows the process outlined in the Initial Netskope Integration Change Request.
• Provide daily support for reviewing and resolving Netskope-related incidents. Investigate, escalate issues as necessary, and report through the documented incident response procedures.
• Provide ongoing guidance and governance for the Google Workspace system, ensuring security best practices and compliance are upheld.
• Oversee continuous monitoring activities in accordance with the compliance dashboard. Make recommendations and take follow-up actions to mitigate previously unknown security gaps.
