    We began with comprehensive risk assessments to identify potential vulnerabilities and addressed them proactively. Implementing MFA enhanced security by requiring multiple verification methods. Continuous focused on best practices and threat awareness to reduce human error. We enforced robust encryption for data in transit and at rest, and adopted a zero-trust architecture to limit access.Real-time monitoring using AI-driven threat detection and tools like ActiveEDR allowed us to respond swiftly to potential attacks. By combining these best practices, we successfully deployed the new technology while maintaining a strong security posture, protecting the system's integrity, and building stakeholder trust.

    To do so, I would implement a multi-layered security approach (security in depth). This includes conducting comprehensive risk assessments and penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities, enforcing robust encryption for data in transit and at rest, and adopting zero-trust architecture to limit access. Continuous monitoring using AI-driven threat detection systems ensures real-time response to potential attacks, while regular employee training and adherence to international standards like ISO 27001 help maintain a strong security culture. Additionally, collaboration with industry partners and regulators ensures proactive threat intelligence sharing and compliance with evolving security requirements.
