Organization
Step into an exciting opportunity as part of a brand-new team called “Cyber Insighters”!
This dynamic, diverse, and international group is comprised of a Product Owner, Data-Driven Cyber Security Analysts, Data Analysts, and Developers, all working together to redefine cybersecurity at ABN AMRO. Based in Amstelveen, the Cyber Insighters team thrives on collaboration and innovation, with English as the primary language. Representing a variety of countries and cultures, the team embodies the spirit of inclusivity and creativity.
The ambition is simple yet powerful: “Think big, but start small!” By combining forward-thinking ideas with data-driven insights, we aim to deliver impactful solutions that elevate ABN AMRO’s cyber resilience.
Function
At CISO Cyber Defence, we are driven by a bold ambition: to deliver world-class cyber resilience for ABN AMRO, safeguarding our organization and clients in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
As a Data-Driven Cyber Security Analyst within CISO Cyber Defence, you will drive the implementation of an advanced, data-driven analytic framework, setting the standard for identifying and visualizing security gaps. Your expertise will empower CISO Cyber Defence to make smarter, more informed decisions on how and where to strengthen the bank’s cyber resilience.
Your key responsibilities include:
Innovating Threat Models.
Building smarter metrics.
Delivering actionable insights.
Driving high-impact initiatives.
Empowering stakeholders.
Collaborating for success.
By leveraging metrics and generating actionable insights, you will not only uncover vulnerabilities but also transform data into impactful, evidence-based solutions that directly enhance security. In this role, you will ensure that the organization’s time, budget, and efforts are invested strategically — delivering measurable improvements to our cybersecurity posture and raising the value delivered by Cyber Defence.
With the following results (SMART)
Your responsibilities will include designing a comprehensive High-Level Solution Design and developing a robust Data Model. Using this Data Model, you will calculate essential metrics that culminate in five Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s), providing critical insights into security performance.
Beyond this, your work will contribute to the Cyber Resilience Index (CRI), a vital measure of ABN AMRO’s security posture. Each security capability you analyze and optimize will directly influence the CRI, with every capability weighted differently to reflect its importance.
The team follows a structured, standardized approach, ensuring clarity and consistency at every stage of the process. As part of this, documenting all outputs in a clear and precise manner is an essential part of your role, ensuring seamless communication and traceability of results.
