• Work in collaboration with IT teams to implement designed architecture
• Document all stages of the ZTA roadmap and associated deployments
• Provide training and guidance to internal teams regarding new security measures
• Lead projects from conception to execution, ensuring alignment with strategic goals
• Manage timelines, resources, and project milestones
• Evaluate the effectiveness of implemented architectures and make adjustments as necessary
