  • Serving as the point of escalation for the cyber incident management team and fostering collaboration and cross-training
  • Participating in cyber-related tabletop exercises
  • Conducting social engineering exercises to raise employee awareness of social engineering risks
  • Staying abreast of latest cybersecurity threats and trends and proactively training relevant groups accordingly
  • Responding to client DDQs and participating in client due diligence meetings
