Vendor & Platform Maintenance: Collaborate with Netskope technical support, manage platform upgrades, review cloud release release notes, and ensure operational readiness across enterprise environments.

Automation & Scripting: Develop scripts (Python, PowerShell, REST APIs) for policy automation, tenant monitoring, and log extraction to SIEM systems.
