Cybersecurity Manager
Your morning starts with a threat intelligence briefing from your SOC team about an active phishing campaign targeting your bank's customers, coordinating an immediate takedown with the CERT-In nodal team. Afternoons involve reviewing vendor risk assessments, chairing a cyber awareness training session for non-technical staff, and updating your organisation's incident response playbook.
