• Manage the lifecycle of security technologies, from selection through deployment and decommissioning.

Security Technology Standards and Guidelines

• Develop and enforce technical security standards, guidelines, and procedures.
• Ensure that security design and implementation comply with relevant industry standards (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001, CIS).
• Provide guidance and best practices for secure system design and development.

Security Engineering and Implementation

• Lead the implementation of security controls and technologies, including firewalls, encryption, identity and access management, and intrusion detection/prevention systems.
• Develop and maintain secure configurations for systems and networks.
• Work closely with the technology infrastructure and application teams to embed security in all engineering processes.

Security Testing and Validation

• Oversee penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and other security testing activities.
• Validate the security of IT systems and applications before deployment.
• Develop and implement procedures for continuous monitoring of security controls

Collaboration and Communication

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including ETech, DCT,BT, BD and business units, to ensure security is integrated into all projects.
• Communicate security architecture and engineering concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Act as a key point of contact for security-related engineering inquiries.

Continuous Improvement

• Continuously improve the security architecture and engineering practices based on lessons learned from incidents, new technologies, and evolving threats.
• Foster a culture of security innovation and best practices within the engineering teams.
• Mentor and train junior security engineers and architects.
• Documentation and Reporting
• Maintain comprehensive documentation of security architectures, engineering processes, and configurations.
• Provide regular reports to the InfoSec Lead on the status of security architecture and engineering initiatives.
• Ensure documentation meets regulatory and compliance requirements.
