No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
Location is set to fully remote per caller instruction; no metro is inferred.
Ignored 4 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Defender for Cloud Apps, Insider Risk Management, AI governance, Data Security Posture Management.
