- Provide oversight and ensure compliance with security policies and programs related to AI, including secure development of lifecycles and vulnerability management processes.
- Lead or support cybersecurity risk assessments, audits, program development, and incident response exercises, especially those involving AI systems.
- Establish and maintain secure development environments within AI platforms and integrated tools.
- Work with security teams and legal/business stakeholders to operate new cybersecurity AI/ML legislation.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including AI/ML developers, security architects, and business stakeholders.
- Develop training programs to raise awareness of AI security risks and mitigation options.
- Threat Modeling and Risk Assessment. Identifying potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses within the organization's systems and infrastructure, assessing the associated risks, and developing strategies to mitigate those risks.
- Design and implement technical solutions (e.g., DLP, SIEM, endpoint monitoring) to support insider risk/threat detection, logging, and telemetry ingestion.
- Develop actionable security blueprints, principles, models, designs, standards, and guidelines to ensure information technology architecture and support is consistent, usable, secure, and adds value to the business.
- Tune and optimize system performance to reduce false positives and ensure that detection logic remains relevant to changing behaviors and environments.
- Support the secure deployment of behavior analytics models while ensuring that infrastructure and access controls meet privacy and governance requirements.
- Contribute to the engineering to automated response capabilities, including alerting, blocking, or throttling based on defined insider risk thresholds.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology or Information Security. Master’s degree preferred.
