The ideal candidate will have experience securing policy administration systems, claims platforms, customer portals, and AI-based underwriting and fraud detection solutions.

Key Responsibilities

1. Security Architecture & Strategy

  • Develop and maintain the enterprise cybersecurity architecture aligned with business strategy, compliance mandates, and threat landscape.

  • Provide architectural leadership for SOC platforms, including SIEM, SOAR, EDR / XDR, and threat intelligence solutions.
  • Enhance incident detection, response automation, and threat hunting capabilities.
  • Define incident response playbooks tailored to financial and insurance-related threats (e.g., data exfiltration, ransomware).
  • Establish performance metrics and continuous improvement plans for SOC operations.

    • 5. Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)

  • Define and maintain the cybersecurity governance framework aligned with NAIC Model Law, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and applicable privacy laws.
  • Conduct risk assessments, monitor control effectiveness, and ensure compliance with state and federal insurance regulations.
  • Support third-party risk management and vendor security assessments.
  • Lead internal and external security audits and oversee compliance documentation.

    • 6. AI Security

  • Architect secure AI / ML systems for insurance applications such as underwriting, fraud detection, and claims automation.
  • Implement AI model governance, ensuring data integrity, explainability, and compliance with emerging AI regulations.
  • Mitigate risks such as model poisoning, bias, prompt injection, and data leakage.
  • Collaborate with data science and actuarial teams to secure AI pipelines handling sensitive customer and financial data.
  • Stay current with AI risk frameworks (NIST AI RMF, ISO / IEC 23894, EU AI Act).

    • 7. Leadership & Collaboration

  • Act as a trusted cybersecurity advisor to business leaders, IT executives, and risk management teams.
  • Mentor security engineers and analysts on architecture design and cybersecurity best practices.
