• Implement security controls using OAuth2, mTLS, certificates, key management, and data protection practices.
• Establish monitoring and observability using CPI/MuleSoft dashboards, Splunk, App Insights, alerting, and trace correlation.
• Implement CI/CD practices for integrations using Git, branching, versioning, and automated deployment.
