Broad exposure to security domains (e.g., data loss prevention, access control, network security)
Plusses:

Prior experience leading small-to-mid sized technical teams (2-5 people)
-
Exposure to enterprise security challenges in capital markets or financial services
-
Hands-on architectural knowledge in areas such as:
-
Data loss prevention
