  • Review security technologies, tools and services, and make recommendations to the broader security and product development teams for their use, based on security, financial, operational and commercial metrics
  • Liaise with other security architects and security practitioners to share best practices and insights
  • Develop and maintain a security architecture process that enables the enterprise to develop and implement security solutions and capabilities that are clearly aligned with business, technology, threat and customer drivers
  • Develop security strategy plans and roadmaps based on sound enterprise architecture practices
  • Develop and maintain security architecture artifacts (e.g., models, templates, standards, patterns & procedures) that can be used to leverage security capabilities in projects and operations
  • Track developments and changes in the digital business and threat environments to ensure that they're adequately addressed in security strategy plans and architecture artifacts
  • Participate in application and infrastructure projects, and commercial product/service development activities to provide security design and consultancy advice
  • Draft security procedures and standards to be reviewed and approved
