Building strong partnerships across departments and investing in ongoing training can help mitigate these obstacles and support proactive risk management.

What is cybersecurity risk management?

Cybersecurity risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and prioritizing risks to an organization's digital assets and information systems. It involves implementing strategies and controls to minimize the impact of potential cyber threats, such as data breaches, malware, and unauthorized access. The goal is to balance security measures with business needs, ensuring sensitive information remains protected while maintaining operational efficiency. Effective risk management is ongoing, adapting to new threats and changes within the organization.

Job Summary and Qualifications

The Director of Information Protection & Security (IPS) Risk Management leads the risk management function for IPS. In this critical leadership position, you will be responsible for developing and overseeing our organization's comprehensive cybersecurity risk management program. This role will be responsible for developing and implementing a robust cybersecurity risk management strategy aligned with industry best practices and evolving threats. To be successful in this role, the Director of Risk Management must be able to clearly communicate cyber risks to all levels of the organization.

 This leader will be key in implementing a risk management program that results in the identification, prioritization, and reduction of cybersecurity and ensures compliance for all in-scope facilities. This trusted advisor will help raise the protection bar by building strong relationships with technical and non-technical stakeholders to make risk visible, facilitate well-informed decision, and drive accountability. The ability to clearly communicate and report cybersecurity risk, and manage organizational relationships, will be key to the success of this role. In addition, this role must be able to establish a outcome-driven metrics approach to risk management and utilize protection level agreements as a mechanism to establish risk thresholds.
