Cyber Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced Cyber Security Architect to design and strengthen secure, resilient technology environments across a complex organisation. You will define security architecture principles, standards and patterns that support business objectives while reducing cyber risk. Working closely with technology, engineering, infrastructure, data and risk teams, you will translate business and technical requirements into practical security solutions across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments.
Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining security architecture roadmaps; reviewing solution designs and providing clear, risk-based recommendations; and ensuring that security is embedded throughout the technology and software development lifecycle. You will assess emerging technologies, identify vulnerabilities and architectural weaknesses, and advise on appropriate controls relating to identity and access management, network security, endpoint protection, application security, encryption, monitoring and incident response. You will also contribute to security policies, threat modelling, technical assurance activities, risk assessments and the continuous improvement of security governance. The role may involve supporting audits, regulatory compliance and the development of reference architectures and reusable security patterns.
You will bring substantial experience in cyber security architecture, security engineering or a closely related discipline, together with a strong understanding of modern infrastructure and application technologies. Experience designing secure cloud services, preferably across major public cloud platforms, is highly desirable. You should be confident working with architecture frameworks, threat modelling techniques, security principles and recognised standards such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS Controls. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, SABSA, CCSP or equivalent, are advantageous. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, as you will be expected to explain complex security risks clearly and influence decisions at both technical and senior levels. A proactive, collaborative approach and a commitment to continual learning will be key to your success.
