• Being cyberattacks such as malware, ransomware, and denial-of-service attacks a constant threats, you will be key in identifying vulnerabilities in the software infrastructure, patching them, and minimizing risk. 
• Implement security best practices like secure software development lifecycle (SDLC), vulnerability assessments, and threat intelligence.
• In the event of a breach or cyberattack, you will quickly identify the source and mitigate the damage, reducing downtime and data loss, ensuring incident reporting and recovery plans, enabling business continuity This can significantly save the company from revenue loss, loss of customer trust, and costly recovery operations and ultimately avoiding the erosion of customer confidence.

• By embedding security practices into the development lifecycle, they ensure that software is resilient to attacks before it reaches the market. Guiding and instructing developers on secure coding practices, code review processes, and automated testing for vulnerabilities, a cybersecurity expert improves the software’s security. This proactive approach minimizes the chances of security flaws being discovered post-launch, leading to a reduction in patching costs and enhancing the product’s reputation for reliability.

• Our customers expect their data to be handled securely, especially in the context of cloud-based or SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) applications. 
• A cybersecurity expert helps establish and maintain a strong security posture, which is critical to attracting and retaining customers. 
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA), role-based access control, and data encryption will be common areas to address in our environment for application into our products.
• We operate in an environment with strict data privacy regulations. As cybersecurity senior expert you will ensure the company’s practices meet necessary compliance standards. Therefore, by understanding the legal and regulatory landscape you will help the company avoid costly fines and legal liabilities, creating protocols for data handling and ensure that any software products or services the company develops comply with relevant data protection laws.

In your role you will ensure that this IP remains protected from theft, espionage, and data breaches. This can be achieved by deploying encryption, secure access protocols, and continuous monitoring systems to safeguard sensitive customer data, source code, and project documentation. 
• By ensuring data is well-protected, we will prevent costly breaches that could damage the company’s reputation and result in legal or financial consequences
