Security Architect

A Security Architect designs and implements robust security frameworks to safeguard an organisation’s IT infrastructure. You might work in a variety of sectors, including finance, healthcare, or government. Security Architects focus on identifying potential threats, developing security policies, and integrating advanced security solutions. You’ll analyse system vulnerabilities, develop strategies to mitigate risks, and ensure compliance with industry standards.

Security Architects play a critical role in protecting sensitive data and maintaining organisational integrity. You’ll need to be detail-oriented, analytical, and able to communicate complex security concepts to non-technical stakeholders. You’ll collaborate with IT teams to strengthen security measures and address emerging threats effectively.
