Cyber Risk Quantification

• Collaborate on initiatives that strengthen the enterprise cybersecurity program; ensure projects align with the cloud security governance model.

• Regularly review and update risk frameworks to reflect changes in the cloud threat landscape, including Oracle-specific risks.

• Lead discussions at all levels to incorporate cloud security risk elements into business strategies and decision-making.

• Guidelines of business through cloud security assessments, translating technical/security questions into business impact and prioritization.

Auditing & Compliance

• Conduct and/or oversee audits and other assessments of cloud technologies and on-prem technologies, ensuring effectiveness, sustainability, and maturity controls.

• Ensure adherence to regulatory requirements and internal policies, including coordination on remediation of identified gaps.

• Support oversight activities related to enforcement agencies, regulatory examinations, and related obligations.

Emerging Security Trends

• Stay current with multiple Cloud platforms for best practices, emerging technologies, and regulatory changes impacting cloud environments.

• Leverage insights to enhance the security posture and influence strategic roadmaps across business and technology teams.

KRIs & Metrics

• Ensure metric quality and relevance (e.g., control efficacy, incident trends, misconfiguration rates, vulnerability aging, and remediation timeliness).

Qualifications:

• 6–10+ years of experience across risk management, cloud information security governance, and/or IT audit; prior audit experience is a plus.

• Strong understanding of cloud architecture and provider integrations, including how enterprise servers and services interface with cloud providers
