3. Threat Modeling, Tooling & Incident Response
- Threat Mitigation: Perform regular threat modeling exercises, automated vulnerability assessments, and simulated penetration tests across clinical AI environments.
- Security Operations: Build custom security tooling, continuous monitoring systems, and automated alert workflows to detect and remediate security events in real time.
