Technical Security Oversight (Infrastructure & Applications)

• Monitor and assess the security posture of platforms, infrastructure, and applications (on-prem and cloud)

• Oversee key control areas including vulnerability management, patching, identity and access management, endpoint security, and application security

• Support secure practices across the application lifecycle (SDLC), including awareness of secure design and common vulnerabilities (e.g. OWASP Top 10)

• Ensure effective logging, monitoring, and incident detection capabilities are in place across infrastructure and applications

• Track and assess third-party and supplier risks, including risks related to applications and integrations

Risk, Compliance & Assurance

• Identify and track gaps against security policies, standards, and mandates, including application security requirements

• Support/execute risk assessments, internal and external audits, and customer assurance activities across Cluster environments
