About The Role

Cyber security is no longer just a technical challenge. It is essential to protect critical infrastructure, enabling the energy transition, securing maritime operations, building trust in digital services, and helping societies become more resilient.

At DNV, our purpose is to safeguard life, property, and the environment.

Cyber threats are evolving rapidly, and resilience has become a decisive factor for businesses, governments, and critical infrastructure worldwide.

At DNV, our Cyber Security teams help customers understand, prevent, and respond to cyber risks.

• Penetration testing and security validation
• Security architecture and secure-by-design solutions
• Incident response and digital forensic analysis
