Proficiency with scripting and automation using Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar tools. Experience securing infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD workflows using Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM, OPA, Sentinel, or native cloud policies. Strong grasp of IAM, identity federation, least-privilege access, SaaS permission models, and privileged access management practices.
