ABOUT THE ROLE AND THE TEAM

The Security Operations team’s mission: “Through detection, enable teams and individuals to respond and recover. With analysis, improve the organization’s ability to identify and protect”.
In the context of NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) the Cognite Security Operations core activities reside in Detect and Protect. However, in order to ensure velocity and continuous improvement we have to avoid having a “throw-over-the-fence” culture - this is deeply embedded in Cognite’s culture and reflected in our values. Orchestration and automation are key to achieving the above. The Security Operations team should always seek to offload work to software and machines. We should avoid doing the same thing twice in all our work.
You will have the opportunity to shape and influence how we work as a team and as an organization, e.g. by presenting your proposals in an architecture forum, receiving feedback from product managers, developers, engineers and architects.
As a team we support the development of junior staff members to gain greater perspective on IT and OT security, and customer expectations and usage patterns.
