You are part of our international Cyber Defence team and report into the Chief Cybersecurity Officer. You are embedded into the community of solution- and enterprise architects within Global IT in Hilti. You specialize either in IT applications, infrastructure, digital workspace, or cloud solutions and ensure that in your area of responsibility, cyber-attack scenarios are understood, vulnerabilities are identified, and risks are mitigated. You support developing the IT landscape in your area, always keeping cyber risks in mind. In close collaboration with the different IT engineering teams, you guide the selection and implementation of secure solutions fitting into our existing IT environment and meeting enterprise architecture guidelines. You make sure that systems and solutions in your area are properly embedded in our control framework and you take an active part in developing our prevention, detection, and response capabilities.
