On behalf of our client, we are now looking for a Cyber Defense Engineer for a central security function within a global organization with extensive digital infrastructure. The role is placed in the organization’s Cyber Defence function, which is responsible for monitoring, verifying, and strengthening security controls around the clock to protect systems, information, and users.

The function is a vital part of the organization’s defense against cyber threats and works closely with other security teams and IT functions. The need for this role is driven by increased regulatory requirements, technical complexity, and growing responsibilities across the organization.
