5. Partner with engineering, application, and cloud teams to embed secure identity controls into every new service launch, migration, or platform upgrade.
6.  Automate PAM processes using PowerShell, Python, and CyberArk REST APIs (e.g., bulk onboarding/off‑boarding, credential rotation schedules).
7. Evaluate emerging PAM technologies (e.g., CyberArk Conjur, Secret-Zero, Zero-Trust Privilege) and build business cases for adoption.
8. Collaborate with DevSecOps, Cloud, and Application teams to embed privileged-access controls into CI/CD pipelines and cloud-native workload
