Work Mode: Onsite (Client)
Lead and operate Cyber EDUC 2 control to test and train software developers considered as High Risk Users from a cyber perspective.
Mature the EDUC 2 control to include other technical audiences.
Work closely with user research, Cyber control owners (e.g. Data Security, Vulnerability Management, Identity and Access Management) and vulnerability/incident data analysis to inform the design and delivery of cybersecurity training to any technical audience.
Using data and insights to demonstrate the effectiveness/impact of the solutions you deliver.
Using your subject matter expertise, you can design proxy measures to demonstrate how training solutions support our overall outcomes. We want to measure more than just our output (e.g. courses completed) and demonstrate an impact on engineering metrics such as reduced incidents, reduced time to remediate or reduction in recurring vulnerabilities.
Work closely with the Cybersecurity Assessment and Testing (CSAT) function, Global Engineering, CTO, DevOps Services to gather inputs, validate and test the impact of proposed training and ultimately implement joined up solutions to our target audience.
Through a data-driven approach, identify gaps/opportunities in our security training tooling and design and deliver pilots to address these opportunities. This could include identifying and trialling third party vendors.
Support from a communications and training perspective any initiatives that empower and enable technical roles to operate more efficiently and securely.
Mandatory Skills:
- Application Security (application security framework/threat modelling/Secure SDLC/DevSecOps/Application Security Architecture Review)
- Cybersecurity & AI Laws
Strong relationship building experience and persuasion skills including experience where you have previously worked with numerous partners to find common agreement and deliver a common solution.
Strong technical subject matter background in application security, DevSecOps and/or identity and access management.
You may be an engineer at heart but have proven experience of stepping out from being a practitioner and now use your unique insider experience to deliver transformational enablement programmes to engineers (e.g. Training and development, Change Management/Transformation, Internal engagement and culture change, Design thinking).
Experienced in creating needs-based solutions that are also measurable and materially reduce risk.
Experience of being part of enabling initiatives for technologists at scale with proven results.
Ideally experience of using or managing third party training vendors and platforms.
Excellent understanding of Security concepts and principles.
Good understanding of security flaws in different programming languages.
Understanding of emerging technologies and its corresponding security threats would be a plus.
