  • Translate complex federal cybersecurity mandates (e.g., Zero Trust architectures, Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM)) into actionable, technical deployment strategies within the Wiz platform.
  • Assist federal customers in navigating the Authority to Operate (ATO) and continuous monitoring processes by leveraging Wiz's compliance and reporting capabilities.
  • Act as the "Voice of the Federal Customer" internally, partnering closely with Product and Engineering teams to prioritize Wiz for Gov feature parity and advocate for government-specific platform enhancements.
