Your everyday life with us

As an IT security consultant you will be an important piece in the region's work to protect critical infrastructure and healthcare data.

You will in the role work closely with the unit's other employees, who all contribute to Region North Jutland having a strong team with high ambitions. To succeed in the position, it is important that you:

• understand the value of cross-disciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing
• look ahead in solving tasks and drive them to the goal
• can work independently as well as in interdisciplinary teams
• find it exciting to be proactive and turn another “technical stone”
• have the desire to identify threats, vulnerabilities and unwanted activity

We collaborate with an external 24/7/365 Managed SOC provider, which means that the position does not entail work outside normal hours.

About the job

We are strengthening our operational security team, and therefore seek colleagues for tasks in particular within two areas: Patch Management and Cross-cutting security. There will naturally be both need and opportunity to engage in other tasks in the team. Please indicate in your application if there is one of the areas you particularly want to work with.

Patch and Mitigation Management

As an IT security consultant focusing on patch- and mitigation management you help create structure and progress in the work with patching of vulnerabilities, and mitigations that limit vulnerabilities. It is an advantage if you have understanding of networks as well as general technical understanding of IT and/or OT.

Your main tasks will be to

• maintain and develop the processes for the area
• in close collaboration with your colleagues assist the organization with recommendations and prioritization regarding vulnerabilities
• work closely with IT operations and system owners on patching, mitigations and packaging
• handle exceptions and reduce risk in collaboration with the information security team
• prepare reporting and risk assessment of patches
• participate in development regarding automation of workflows and processes

Cross-cutting Generalist

As an IT security consultant focused on the cross-cutting processes, you will have broad involvement. It is therefore also an advantage if you already have knowledge of working with vulnerabilities, incidents, etc., as well as knowledge of the organization.

Your main tasks will be to

• participate in vulnerability and incident handling both within IT and OT
• coordinate work regarding secure communication and support emergency processes
• participate in development regarding automation of workflows and processes
• assist with ad-hoc tasks and support the team, management and the organization at large
• assist the team and management with vendor and contract management in the area, including tenders

About you

Your educational background can come from many programs, but you may have completed a relevant IT education such as computer scientist, data scientist, cand.scient. or similar – alternatively you have gained relevant technical insight through professional experience. You have several years of relevant experience either in security analysis or IT security. You have a well-developed analytical mind, problem-solving skills, and not least a good understanding of threat landscapes, threat actors, IT infrastructure and the various forms of attack.

You have experience working analytically with technical data and cybersecurity tools, including log management, SIEM platforms, NDR solutions, vulnerability scanners. Experience with OT environments or cloud security is an advantage.

You are good at communicating clearly and understandably at both technical and management levels, service-minded and good at working individually as well as in teams. You also understand the importance of documenting and following up on your tasks for the benefit of the organization and the citizens.

It is a condition of employment that you can obtain security clearance and subsequently maintain the clearance throughout your employment.
