You will work closely with technology, risk, compliance and business stakeholders to establish effective security practices and promote a strong culture of security awareness.
Key responsibilities will include defining and maintaining cyber security strategies, policies, standards and control frameworks; leading security risk assessments and supporting remediation planning; monitoring the threat landscape and recommending appropriate preventative, detective and responsive measures; and overseeing incident response, investigation and post-incident improvement activities.
