  • Strong troubleshooting skills across systems, networks, and endpoints is required.
  • Hands‑on experience with Microsoft Purview, Crowdstrike, and SharePoint security administration is required.
  • Knowledge of endpoint security tools, antivirus / EDR, patch management, MFA / SSO platforms, and email protection is required.
