Solution Architect, Cybersecurity

We are looking for a Security Architect (SA) who will report to the Manager of Enterprise & solution architecture. The SA will primarily work in the design and implementation of robust cybersecurity design in order to protect BRP's infrastructure, applications, data, and users from evolving cyber threats. As part of his/her role, the SA will review and understand the risks and impacts of several business initiatives, in order to develop comprehensive security architectures, and guide secure deployment practices while respecting the guiding principles of the Enterprise Architecture within the actual BRP context. Deep exposure on the latest security tooling such XDR, EDR, SIEM, SOAR is a strong asset.
Responsibilities
Design advanced endpoint protection strategies, Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), Extended Detection & Response (XDR), endpoint firewall controls, and security coverage for legacy operating systems.
Define security architecture for proactive threat detection and response capabilities, including Managed Detection and Response (MDR), threat hunting programs, advanced threat intelligence integration, incident management workflows, and Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR).
 Design Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) capabilities to support large scale log collection, cyber analytics, and security monitoring, ensuring integration with XDR platforms, threat intelligence feeds, incident response workflows, and long term log retention strategies.
Architect solutions that ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and availability, including encryption mechanisms, secure storage practices, access control policies, and endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP) capabilities, in compliance with data protection regulations.
Design cloud security architectures covering cloud workload protection (CWPP), cloud security posture management (CSPM), container security, and cloud native application protection platforms (CNAPP), including integration with cloud based MDR and threat hunting services.
Design solution architecture documents for endpoint, network, infrastructure, cloud, application, identity, OT/IoT, and data security in alignment with BRP goals and industry best practices.
