Responsibilities
Secure-by-Design Architecture: Implement, own, and champion secure-by-design frameworks across cloud, infrastructure, and application ecosystems, ensuring all system architectures address robust cybersecurity requirements.
Design & Integration Reviews: Review and approve security architecture designs for new internal systems, cloud platforms, and third-party integrations.
DevSecOps & CI/CD Pipelines: Design, enable, and maintain automated security pipelines to proactively scan Git repositories, catching vulnerabilities early in the software development lifecycle.
Cloud Security Management: Manage security lifecycles within multi-cloud environments (primarily AWS and GCP) to ensure continuous compliance and threat mitigation.
Vulnerability Management: Own and run the end-to-end vulnerability management program, prioritizing remediation efforts across enterprise systems.
AI & Emerging Tech Security: Assess and secure emerging technologies, evaluating security-focused Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI workflows to keep NPR aligned with industry progressions.
Security Monitoring & SIEM: Leverage SIEM platforms (specifically Splunk) to develop advanced dashboards, write queries, and build automated reporting mechanisms for real-time threat intelligence.
Network & Endpoint Defense: Deploy, recommend, and test advanced security controls, including Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), enterprise-level antivirus, and perimeter security for Cisco networking devices.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with internal NPR technology and business teams to address security gaps, resolve concerns, and provide subject matter expertise in ongoing cybersecurity meetings.
