I provide crucial remediation support in response to critical vulnerabilities and material security incidents within the banking sector. ● My expertise lies in analyzing vulnerabilities and engaging with technology teams and business units to address them within Service Level Agreements (SLAs). By managing and influencing stakeholders, I ensure they understand risk exposure, remediation prioritization, and the significance of vulnerabilities. ● Leading a team responsible for vulnerability and compliance management, I ensure timely delivery of reports and monthly analysis to management. My efforts include spearheading initiatives to strengthen team performance in security remediation and supporting remediation and analytic programs to maintain compliance levels across bank assets. ● My experience extends to reviewing security exceptions for specific business units, identifying risks in a timely manner, leading projects for tool onboarding in business-as-usual (BAU) operations, and conducting compliance scans. Additionally, I support tracking and remediation of open IT audit findings across operating systems, network devices, log reviews, and databases to ensure effective risk mitigation and resolution. ➤ Specialties: Cyber Security & Management, Stakeholder Engagement & Vendor Sourcing, Policy and Procedure Development, Compliance control Validation, Operational Risk Management, Conflict Resolution and Negotiation, Team Building & Leadership, Organizational internal Audit Show less
