• Policy Development and Enforcement: Develop, implement, and enforce security policies and procedures that comply with industry standards and regulatory requirements, including GDPR and eIDAS.
• Network and Application Security Oversight: Supervise the implementation of network security measures such as firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and virtual private networks (VPNs). Oversee application security initiatives, ensuring adherence to OWASP guidelines and secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) practices.
• Identity and Access Management (IAM): Coordinate the implementation of IAM solutions, including role-based access control (RBAC) and attribute-based access control (ABAC), to ensure secure and compliant access to systems and data.
• Compliance and Audit Management: Ensure adherence to security compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001 and NIST, and manage audits to verify compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR.
• Incident Response and Forensics: Develop and oversee incident response plans, conduct forensic investigations in the event of security breaches, and implement corrective actions to prevent future incidents.
• Secure DevOps (DevSecOps) Implementation: Promote and supervise the integration of security practices into the DevOps pipeline, ensuring that security is embedded throughout the development and deployment processes.
• Cryptography Management: Oversee the implementation of cryptographic protocols, including TLS, AES, RSA, and hashing algorithms, to protect data integrity and confidentiality.
• Cloud Security Governance: Define strategies for securing cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), ensuring that security controls are effectively implemented and managed.
• Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Assessment: Supervise regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate security weaknesses.
• Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Implement and manage DLP strategies to prevent unauthorized access, use, or transmission of sensitive data.

And you?

• Proficiency in conducting penetration tests and vulnerability assessments to identify and address security weaknesses.
• Knowledge of data loss prevention (DLP) strategies and tools to protect sensitive data.
• Experience with threat modeling methodologies such as MITRE ATT&CK and STRIDE to identify and mitigate security threats.
• Understanding of security considerations specific to artificial intelligence and machine learning applications.
• Awareness of emerging trends in quantum-resistant cryptography and their implications for data security.
• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks such as the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the Network and Information Security Directive 2 (NIS2).
• Knowledge of privacy-enhancing technologies such as homomorphic encryption and differential privacy.
• Experience with threat intelligence gathering and security operations center (SOC) processes to monitor and respond to security threats.
• Understanding of secure multi-party computation (SMPC) techniques and their application in secure data processing.

Specific Expertise:
