Do work that matters
Working with the Cyber Controls Chapter Area Lead and collaborating with peers, you will:
Lead, coach and develop a team of Control Managers and Analysts, setting priorities and directing capacity toward the highest risk and growth areas.
Help define and deliver the network security strategy and roadmap together with Technology Crew Leads and Product Owners.
Establish and maintain network security standards, requirements and design/operating-effectiveness criteria in line with industry standards, technology strategy and threat intelligence.
Govern the Group's compliance with network security control requirements in line with the Group Operational Risk Management Framework.
You will also
Monitor threat controls: assess IPS/IDS signature-blocking activity and maintain performance dashboards to support day-to-day triage and monitoring by Cyber Defence Operations.
Partner with engineering: embed requirements across Cloudflare, Corelight, Palo Alto/GlobalProtect, Network Access Control and firewall environments.
Measure and report effectiveness: keep control health, coverage and compliance metrics and evidence up to date, and support monthly governance reporting, Control Self-Assessments and independent control testing.
Drive remediation: find weaknesses such as overly permissive firewall rules, segmentation gaps, exposed public endpoints and remote-access issues, raise issues, and hold service owners and engineering teams to remediation.
Govern exceptions: provide front-door control advice, assess proposed deviations and make sure exceptions go through the required risk assessment and endorsement.
Deliver strategic uplift: ensure enforcement of deny rules, end-of-life (EOL) lockdown, cloud/on-premises isolation capabilities and control automation.
