Duration: 6 months (124 Business Days) + Possible extension of 6 months

Location: Hybrid at 525 University Avenue

Must Haves:

• 10 or more years of experience in IT security principles, practices, technologies, programs, and procedures with a solid knowledge of cloud architecture and security controls.
• Certifications in in any of the following cyber security and cloud security architecture (e.g., CISSP-ISSAP, CCSP, GDSA)
• Certifications in any of the following are an asset. ArchiMate, TOGAF, SABSA, Zachman

Description

Security architecture assessments and consultations are required as a prerequisite to the go live in order to comply with OH Policies and standards. Security architecture assessments ensure compliance of product/project architectures with approved security architectures standards and cloud decision records prior to the project go-live date. The Sr. Security Architect ,will support the project influx and ensure the mandatory security architecture assessment is done in a timely manner that doesn't intervene with the project's go-live dates.

Required Skills:

• 10 or more years of experience in IT security principles, practices, technologies, programs, and procedures with a solid knowledge of cloud architecture and security controls.
• Certifications in in any of the following cyber security and cloud security architecture (e.g., CISSP-ISSAP, CCSP, GDSA)
• Certifications in any of the following are an asset. ArchiMate, TOGAF, SABSA, Zachman

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain security reference architectures, network diagrams and other guidelines to support the policies and standards, enabling the delivery of target state enterprise-level Information Security capabilities, and reducing the risk of siloed and redundant solutions.
• Develop security requirements and advise on technologies to be used in cloud environments during an entire project lifecycle.
• Ensure optimal placement and adequacy of the technology to achieve an ideal cloud security architecture, with respect to the cloud service model being used.
• Analyze proposed solution architectures, technology, design, and IT development processes to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities, and to recommend options that enhance the security of solutions and business processes.
• Acts as a subject matter expert and may take on more complex work in developing plans and deliverables and interacting with key internal partners.
• Manage multiple security related projects simultaneously, and present status updates to upper management.

• Good verbal and written communication skills including preparing and presenting and articulating architecture-related concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Functions at a high level of autonomy in setting objectives based on direction from management
• Ability to build sustainable relationships with stakeholders, partner and colleague
  

Deliverables:

• Analyze proposed solution architectures, technology, design, conducting an assessment to identify security architecture gaps and deviations from approved standards/patterns and to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities, then recommend options that enhance the security of solutions.
• Development, update and contribution to security architecture standards, patterns, and reference architectures for cloud environments.
• Ensure optimal placement and adequacy of the technology to achieve an ideal cloud security architecture, with respect to the cloud service model being used.
