Cyber Security Architect

Advise clients on post‑quantum readiness, defining cryptographic risk exposure, prioritised migration roadmaps, and crypto‑agile target architectures. Design and assess secure AI architectures, embedding Responsible AI and AI security controls across data, model, and operational layers. Support clients in evolving their security posture to address emerging adversarial capabilities, including AI‑enabled attacks and future cryptographic threats. Conduct advanced security assessments covering cryptography, AI systems, and high‑risk digital assets, identifying both current and future‑oriented threats. Apply threat intelligence and adversarial thinking to prioritise risks, attack paths, and mitigation strategies aligned with business impact. Support incident response, threat hunting, and strategic intelligence initiatives by providing expert‑level context and analysis. Translate strategy into practical security controls, patterns, and governance mechanisms that can be implemented by engineering and operations teams. Support proof‑of‑concepts, pilots, and controlled roll‑outs for PQC, AI security guardrails, and advanced detection capabilities. Work closely with client teams to ensure solutions are scalable, sustainable, and operationally viable. Act as a trusted advisor on emerging cybersecurity domains, including post‑quantum threats and Responsible AI security. Contribute to internal knowledge, methodologies, and market offerings in advanced cryptography and AI security. Clearly communicate complex technical risks and decisions to senior stakeholders, enabling informed executive‑level decision‑making.
