Willingness and expertise to roll-up the sleeves and work side-by-side with the internal DCI and external partner teams on incidents, forensics and improving DCI's cybersecurity posture. * Certifications: Professional certifications such as CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional), CCSP (Certified Cloud Security Professional), or CISM (Certified Information Security Manager) are highly preferred. * Skills: Strong understanding of Zero Trust principles, risk management, and regulatory compliance frameworks. * Communication: Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical risks and trade-offs to senior leadership. ## Description * Architectural Evaluation: Analyze the existing cybersecurity landscape, covering Cloud Security, network controls, Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), and vulnerability management. This also includes evaluating Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Security Operations Center (SOC), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Identity and Access Management (IAM), and Privileged Access Management (PAM). * Security Assessment: Assess the current-state cybersecurity architecture across Identity and Access Management (IAM), Privileged Access Management (PAM), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Security Operations Center (SOC), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), vulnerability management, Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), Cloud Security, and network controls. * Architecture Strategy: Define and maintain a target-state and transition architecture, aligned to DCI's chosen operating model, governing regulations, and compliance requirements. * Advisory & Authority: Provide advisory and act as the single architectural authority to ensure controls are implemented consistently and without overlapping or gaps. * Risk Identification: Identify architectural risks related to Managed Service Provider (MSP) tool ownership, control-plane dependencies, and SOC continuity. * Design Review: Review configurations conceptually for security design correctness (focusing on architecture rather than day-to-day administrative changes) and data flow. * Gap Prioritization: Identify and prioritize high-risk gaps including privileged access, segmentation, endpoint exposure, audit gaps, protocol mismatch, and tier architecture or hybrid layouts. * Remediation Planning: Recommend pragmatic remediation measures aligned to DCI's specific risk tolerance and budget. * Program Management: Lead and oversee the implementation of the strategy with the internal DCI and external partners. * Zero Trust Implementation: Ensure Zero Trust and "secure by design" principles are applied safely and incrementally to avoid business disruption. * Standards Maintenance: Define and maintain security architecture principles, standards, and reference patterns. * Leadership Support: Support leadership decision-making with detailed architecture options, risk trade-offs, cost vs. benefit views, and environmental or cultural fit assessments. * Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Legal/HR to ensure adherence to GDPR, CCPA, or HIPAA. * Vendor & Compliance Management: Handle vendor coordination, license monitoring, and compliance management with associated third parties. ## Related Videos - [You can’t hack what you can’t see](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/41-you-can-t-hack-what-you-can-t-see) - [Thinking Differently - How to Make Money from Cyber Attacks & Cheats](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/745-thinking-differently-how-to-make-money-from-cyber-attacks-cheats) - [Containers in the cloud - State of the Art in 2022](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/410-containers-in-the-cloud-state-of-the-art-in-2022) - [Python-Based Data Streaming Pipelines Within Minutes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1233-python-based-data-streaming-pipelines-within-minutes) - [What makes Cybersecurity different for critical infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/571-what-makes-cybersecurity-different-for-critical-infrastructure) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) ## Related Articles - [Events like RSAC Get You CISOs.
