Lead the end-to-end Cloud Fraud Prevention & Risk Mitigation process across Latin America.
Develop preventive controls and early detection mechanisms for abnormal or potentially fraudulent Cloud consumption.
Define risk indicators, rules, thresholds, and monitoring models considering different vendors, countries, partners, and consumption profiles.
Coordinate triage, escalation, containment, investigation, recovery, and remediation processes.
Leverage data, automation, and AI/ML to improve alert detection, classification, and prioritization.
Reduce false positives and accelerate the identification and containment of high-impact incidents.
Promote controls and best practices in collaboration with hyperscalers such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
Responsibilities
Act as the regional owner of the Cloud consumption fraud prevention and mitigation program, ensuring appropriate governance, processes, controls, metrics, and reporting.
Design and maintain the end-to-end process: Prevent → Detect → Triage → Contain → Investigate → Recover → Remediate → Learn .
Identify and monitor key risk vectors, including compromised accounts, exposed credentials, fraudulent identities, crypto-mining, abnormal GPU/AI consumption, unusual Marketplace activity, and unexpected consumption spikes.
Define detection models using consumption indicators, historical behavior, financial exposure, credit information, and other relevant signals.
Implement structured mechanisms to classify and prioritize alerts based on severity, risk, and potential financial impact.
