Technology Architect

Roles and Responsibilities: 

• Collaborate with the newly acquired entity to gain a thorough understanding of the network architecture and communications. Evaluate the effectiveness of current network security controls, identify potential risks, and recommend improvements. 

• Lead the design and implementation of next-gen network security solutions, modernizing WAF, IDS, and IPS with cutting-edge alternatives while driving innovation in network security technologies. 

• Oversee the modernization initiatives of the network infrastructure undertaken by the acquired entity, collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure the seamless integration of next-gen security solutions into Broadridge security architecture, facilitating scalability and alignment with future growth objectives. 

• Ensure that infrastructure updates and changes align with Broadridge security standards and best practices. 

• Implement security architectures to safeguard container environments, ensuring robust defense mechanisms and compliance with industry best practices. 

• Ensure seamless communication and integration of WAFs, IPS, IDS with our centralized Security Operations Center (SOC) for effective threat detection and response. 

• Evaluate and integrate security solutions into our centralized Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system, ensuring they align with our monitoring and incident response capabilities. 

• Promote the use of Infrastructure as Code (IAC) to standardize and automate the configuration and management of network and application security solutions, while ensuring consistency and efficacy. 

• Collaborate with developers to architect tailored protective controls to safeguard against web application threats and address specific security needs of individual web applications. 

• Analyze vulnerability scan results and identify areas where WAF configuration adjustments can bolster defenses against potential attacks. 

• Identify and explore opportunities to automate network security processes, leveraging innovative technologies to enhance efficiency, reduce manual effort, and improve threat detection and response capabilities. 

• Stay current with the latest cybersecurity threats and trends, proactively identifying potential vulnerabilities and recommending measures to mitigate risks. 

Requirements: 

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, or Technology related field. Advanced degree or relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CCNP, CEH) preferred. 

• Twelve or more years of experience in one, or a combination, of network, cloud, or infrastructure security domain, showcasing a comprehensive understanding of security principles and practices. 

• Strong expertise in networking concepts, protocols, and security principles, with the ability to design and implement secure network architectures. 

• Thorough knowledge of mainstream operating systems and a wide array of security technologies, including network firewalls and IPS. 

• Expertise in designing and architecting container security strategies, including knowledge of container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes and Docker Swarm and relevant security tools like Wiz, Aqua Security, or Prisma Cloud. 

• Proficiency in full stack cloud automation using tools such as Git, Terraform, Ansible, and Jenkins. Past programming experience and knowledge of Python are a plus. 

• Experience aligning security programs with industry benchmarks and standards such as NIST, CIS, FIPS, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and FIPS 140-2, ensuring adherence to best practices. 

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams and capability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. 

• Proven ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment, ensuring timely and efficient completion of objectives. 

• Commitment to continuous learning and staying updated on industry developments and emerging technologies, coupled with adaptability to evolving technology environments and requirements.
