  • Incorporate security-by-design principles into the ESCP-P SysOps software architecture.
  • Work with cybersecurity and program stakeholders to translate DND security requirements into application, interface, identity, access-control, audit, logging, and monitoring capabilities.
  • Define architectural requirements for system resilience, availability, recoverability, redundancy, and continuity of operations.
  • Support security assessments, design reviews, accreditation activities, and remediation planning.
  • Ensure that sensitive operational and customer information is handled in accordance with applicable program and organizational requirements.
  • Define deployment architecture for applicable cloud, on-premises, edge, and hybrid environments.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
