The world is how we shape it. Let's shape it together.

Cybersecurity is an always-on field, so you will stay up to date with the latest threats, IAM governance trends, and compliance regulations. You will be ready to conduct threat analysis, risk management, incident response, and identity-related risk assessments quickly and effectively. A strong focus will be placed on Identity and Access Management (IAM) governance, ensuring that access rights are aligned with business roles, least-privilege principles, and regulatory requirements throughout the identity lifecycle.

To stay on the front foot, you will be familiar with modern security and IAM tools, including access control solutions, identity governance platforms, firewalls, and vulnerability assessment tools. You will contribute to strengthening access governance frameworks, segregation of duties (SoD), access reviews, and certification processes, ensuring that identities and privileges remain controlled and auditable.

You will collaborate closely with other departments, demonstrating strong communication skills to support secure-by-design initiatives. This includes integrating IAM governance into broader cybersecurity practices such as ethical hacking, penetration testing, and security assessments, ensuring that systems meet security standards, maintain confidentiality, and protect critical assets. After all, there's no cyber without cybersecurity—and no cybersecurity without strong identity governance.
