• Support integration with wider customer ecosystems (Bitdefender, Qualys, Mimecast, Agilitas).

Cross‑Functional Delivery

• Produce high‑quality SOWs, proposals, RFP responses and solution documentation.
• Deliver workshops, demos and PoCs to articulate designs and business value to technical and non‑technical audiences.
