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 

• Influence comprehensive and consistent practices to identify, measure, monitor, report, and manage information risks. 

• 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.
