You will be part of the Global Information Security (GIS) Cyber Security Assurance (CSA) Enterprise Infrastructure Remediation Governance (EIRG) team. In this role, you will play an integral part in ensuring the security of our organization’s core and cloud infrastructure by helping to develop, oversee, and improve the governance models of vulnerability remediation.

As part of the EIRG team, you will collaborate closely with cross functional teams and stakeholders in IT, business technology groups, Risk Partners, and other Information Security teams. You will help with ensuring accurate ingestion and review of the organization’s portfolio of key vulnerability risks, engage with teams on key findings, progress of remediation activities, and influence or otherwise escalate issues or anomalies in either the reported vulnerability data or the response activities of key stakeholders.

Ultimately, in conducting remediation efforts as an Information Security Consultant for the GIS CSA EIRG team, you will ensure major risks are addressed as appropriate to appropriate prioritization/risk timelines, and aim to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the program’s processes, reporting tools, and culture of effectively risk management around all matters of vulnerability remediation.

Key responsibilities:

• Oversee remediation efforts for identified vulnerabilities; inclusive of but not limited to software, hardware, and compliance/configuration violations within various infrastructure environments at our organization.

• Fundamentally, ensure both routine and bespoke remediation plans are implemented per agreed upon deadlines, proper periodic reviews, and full alignment with information security guidelines. If identification occurs of any potential gaps that may result in possible audit issues, they must be discussed, reviewed and escalated for self-ownership by the EIRG team.
• Drive routine remediation of vulnerabilities and misconfiguration issues in public and private cloud infrastructure.
• Design and enhance the overall vulnerability management process for public and private cloud infrastructure.
• Serve as a key resource for improving the governance of remediation in both cloud and physical assets, acting as the APAC regional subject matter expert for remediation governance.
• Review all vulnerability scan results to identify all security risks, as well as report on the findings to appropriate partners.
• Respond to relevant requests received from both key stakeholders, as well as the representatives of stakeholders, for investigation of potential reporting issues.
• Assist to provide all the necessary reports and presentations on the status of regional remediation efforts, contribute routinely to global reports and presentations, and ensure the escalation of any gaps or potential obstacles or issues, both regional and global, to management and/or relevant Information Security or technical staff.
