Responsibilities:

1. Threat Detection and Prevention: Monitor systems and networks for potential security breaches or intrusions. Use tools like intrusion detection systems (IDS) and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) to identify and mitigate security threats in real-time.
2. Vulnerability Assessment: Conduct regular assessments and scans to identify vulnerabilities in systems, applications, and networks. Analyze the results and develop strategies to remediate vulnerabilities to prevent potential cyberattacks.
3. Incident Response: Develop and implement incident response plans to effectively respond to security incidents such as data breaches, malware infections, or unauthorized access. Coordinate with relevant stakeholders to contain the incident, mitigate its impact, and restore normal operations.
4. Security Architecture Design: Design and implement robust security architectures for systems, networks, and applications. Ensure that security measures such as firewalls, encryption, access controls, and multi-factor authentication are appropriately implemented to protect against cyber threats.
5. Security Awareness Training: Develop and deliver security awareness training programs to educate employees about cybersecurity best practices, threats, and how to mitigate risks. Promote a culture of security awareness within the organization.
6. Compliance and Regulatory Compliance: Stay updated on relevant cybersecurity regulations, standards, and best practices. Ensure that the organization complies with applicable regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, etc. Conduct audits and assessments to assess compliance and implement necessary measures.
7. Security Incident Analysis: Analyze security incidents and breaches to understand the root cause, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of attackers. Use threat intelligence sources to gather information about emerging threats and vulnerabilities.
8. Security Policy Development: Develop, review, and update security policies, procedures, and guidelines to align with evolving security threats and business needs. Ensure that policies address areas such as data protection, access control, incident response, and acceptable use of IT resources.
9. Security Risk Management: Identify and assess security risks to the organization’s assets, including data, systems, and networks. Develop risk mitigation strategies and prioritize remediation efforts based on the level of risk and potential impact.
10. Security Technology Evaluation: Evaluate and recommend security technologies, tools, and solutions to enhance the organization’s security posture. Stay abreast of emerging cybersecurity trends and technologies to continually improve security capabilities.
