We also strengthen their defences, optimize their investments and control their risks. Resources in our Cybersecurity Unit include security experts (e.g. specialists in infrastructure, applications, endpoints and identity and access management), a research and development team (whose members specialize in malware analysis and forensics), ethical hackers, five multi-tenant security operation centers (SOC) in different parts of the world, and an Information Technology Security Evaluation Facility. We are also a global leader in testing.

You can expect to join a team of top-flight Security Architects, Senior Security Architects and Managing Security Architects who think like an attacker and address our clients' cybersecurity challenges with market leading solutions. As one of our Security Architects, you'll work with wide range of different clients and can expect to apply your technical expertise, insight and imagination to lots of different assignments.

* Driving beneficial security change into our clients' businesses through the development or review of architecture;

* Managing known or emerging security and information risks by initiating or influencing the development of new security architectures and compliance with architectural principles and objectives;

* Acting as a focal point for mitigating and resolving security and information risks affecting our clients' existing solutions and any alternative or new solutions we deliver for them;

* Security architecture consultancy (e.g. shaping the security of an enterprise, systems or services in one or more industry sectors)

This includes experience in determining security requirements and producing security architecture design documents;

* Audit (e.g. assessing the appropriateness of the security architecture and specific configurations deployed across an enterprise or was part of a specific solution, assessing and advising on compliance with significant standards and regulations such as PCI-DSS, SOX, DPA etc)

And your skills in any of these areas:

* Client-facing and business development skills;

* Ability to balance security and information risk against requirements such as usability, agility and cost;

* Strong appreciation of the pros and cons of security enforcing solutions from a business perspective;
