• Coordinate, liaise, support and conduct internal as well as external audit needs/issues including technical discussions and internal audits (e.g. scanning exercises, penetration tests).
• Formulate process and procedures relating to cyber security through continuous engagement with the various stakeholders including the regulator, industry players and relevant agencies.
• Keep abreast of the latest industry cybersecurity practices and technologies as well as emerging threats and vulnerabilities, then recommend appropriate controls for implementation to improve the ANS systems security posture.
• Conduct investigations into security breaches to determine the cause of the incidents and work closely with multiple stakeholders both internal and external to resolve the incidents, participate in post-incident reporting and study/implement the proposed enhancement to the systems and infrastructure to close the security gaps.
• Manage relevant security documentation and updating of the ANS Group's overall security programme, including planning, coordinating and conducting relevant training for security and assurance matters to raise and maintain high cyber security awareness in the ANS Group.
