    • Deploy data loss prevention (DLP), encryption, and secure backup solutions to safeguard IT assets from unauthorized access and data breaches.
    • Establish and enforce security policies for data storage, databases, and file-sharing systems to maintain data integrity and confidentiality.
  3. IT Application and Infrastructure Security
    • Develop and implement application security frameworks, incorporating OWASP best practices to mitigate web application risks and API security threats.
    • Ensure the security of enterprise applications by enforcing secure coding practices, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing.
    • Conduct regular security audits and assessments of applications and IT infrastructure to proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  4. IT Asset & Endpoint Security Management
    • Deploy and manage endpoint security solutions, including EDR, DLP, mobile security, and encryption, to protect all IT assets.
    • Develop and enforce strategies for secure remote work, VPN security, and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies to ensure secure access.
    • Implement security controls for IT servers, storage systems, virtualization platforms, and user workstations to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
  5. IT Solution & Vendor Management
    • Develop and manage the complete lifecycle of IT security solutions, including preparing RFI/RFP documents, conducting technical evaluations, and overseeing solution procurement.
    • Evaluate IT security solutions and collaborate with vendors to ensure alignment with business and security requirements.
    • Design and implement solution architecture and security frameworks for IAM, endpoint security, and cloud security tools.
    • Ensure successful solution delivery, deployment, and acceptance while maintaining compliance with PTCL policies and procedures.
    • Engage with security vendors and managed security service providers (MSSPs) to enhance IT security capabilities and improve incident response efficiency.
    • Maintain an up-to-date vendor tracking system to ensure proper management of IT security solutions and contracts.
  6. Risk Management & Compliance
    • Ensure compliance with NIST, ISO 27001, CIS, GDPR, PCI-DSS, and other industry standards and regulations.
    • Conduct security risk assessments for IT applications, cloud environments, and internal IT infrastructure.
    • Develop and enforce IT security governance frameworks, policies, and procedures to maintain a strong security posture.
  7. Documentation & Reporting
    • Develop and maintain IT security architecture blueprints and security policies to ensure alignment with security best practices.
    • Provide regular reports on IT security risks, incidents, and security effectiveness to support decision-making and continuous improvement.
