• Develop security architecture roadmaps and recommend investments to enhance the organization’s security posture.

Security Compliance, Mentoring & Collaboration

• Ensure network security architecture aligns with organizational policies, frameworks (ISO 27001, NIST, CIS), and regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, PCI-DSS).

• Conduct regular network security assessments, gap analyses, and audits.

• Define and maintain network security standards and configuration baselines.

• Provide technical leadership and mentoring to network and security engineers.

• Collaborate closely with enterprise architects, DevOps teams, and cloud architects for integrated security solutions.

Key Skills

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.

• Strong understanding of modern attack vectors and cybersecurity frameworks.

• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Strong documentation and leadership capabilities.
