Job offer description

The Cyber Security Manager (CSM) will operate in our office in Transinne and collaborate on a daily basis with the GSOp project team in the frame of the Galileo Service Operator contract. We are looking for a dedicated and meticulous cybersecurity specialist to join our growing team. In this role you will operate independently and as part of a team to ensure GSOp remote sites software, hardware, and related components are protected from cyber-attacks. The job description will include developing security systems, analysing current systems for vulnerabilities, and handling any and all cyber-attacks in an efficient and effective manner. Candidates should have strong IT skills and a deep understanding of cyber hacker methodology. The GSOp CSM will also keep in touch with the Galileo Remote Sites to develop the cyber security knowledge and to ensure the correct addressing of the cyber security procedures and policies. The CSM will also be key person in the cyber awareness program which includes courses on all the remote sites.

Duties and responsability

The Cyber Security Manager is expected to implement the following tasks:

  • Monitor all operations and infrastructure. This could be something you do by yourself, or you could be leading a team—either way, your daily bread and butter involves going through alerts and logs (which are the computer security equivalent of video surveillance) in order to keep an eye on your organization’s digital security footprint.
  • Maintain all security tools and technology. This could be a shared responsibility or completely required of the security manager and their team.
  • Monitor internal and external policy compliance. You want to ensure that both your vendors and employees are working within the framework of a policy you’ve laid out and that the policy is clearly laid out for them. The security manager is the living embodiment of policy—and while they aren’t always in charge of enforcement, they do often try to make sure things are in line internally.
  • Monitor regulation compliance. This is particularly important if you’re in a heavily regulated industry and are dealing with things like credit card, health care data, or other personally identifiable information.
  • Work with different departments in the organization to reduce risk. From technical controls to policies (and everything in between), you’ll likely be tasked with working across the aisle of departments in your organization to get everyone on the same page.
  • Implement new technology. If your organization is looking at a new technology, as the cybersecurity manager, you will be evaluating it and helping implement any controls that might mitigate the risk of its operation.
  • Audit policies and controls continuously. Cybersecurity is a circular process—and as the manager, you have to drive that process forward. In order to do that, you will need to regularly audit the policies and controls you put into place. These audits will tell you if there’s anything you need to improve, remediate, or quickly fix.
  • Ensure cybersecurity stays on the organizational radar. Does it seem as though the organization you’re with isn’t being proactive about cybersecurity? As the cybersecurity manager, your job is to make the benefits clearly visible and champion all efforts going forward.
  • Detail out the security incident response program. Every organization should have a well-defined and documented plan of action to put into place if a security incident does occur. The cybersecurity manager should ensure that this program is tested throughout the organization and that every high-level manager knows his or her duties during such an incident. This may be a responsibility that is the cybersecurity manager’s alone, or it could be a shared responsibility.…
