Main Responsibilities

The Materiel System Leader (MSL) on the section for secure solutions involves work with maintenance, design, and new development of IT and information security products, command systems for higher classification levels, command training, IT4IT, as well as development and testing.

As an MSL, you must ensure that changes in products within your area of responsibility do not negatively affect system or information security, and you should strive for a rational coordination of measures concerning the product.
