As a Security Architect at HBK, you will lead security architecture initiatives across our diverse product portfolio, including web, desktop, SaaS, cloud, embedded, and firmware solutions. You will act as a trusted advisor and hands-on expert, ensuring secure-by-design principles are embedded throughout the product lifecycle. This role requires deep technical expertise in security concepts, threat modelling, risk assessment, and modern development practices.
Consult and Assist: Guide multiple product teams in creating risk analyses (e.g., TARA) and performing Threat Modelling using STRIDE or Product relevant methods
Enable Secure Design: Guide and mentor teams on secure software architecture principles and best practices.
Process Integration: Adapt software development processes to leverage modern security tools (e.g., Static Code Analysis, Fuzzing, Security Testing Frameworks).
Drive Security Decisions: Influence project decisions to implement robust security measures across products.
Code & Config Review: Actively review source code and configurations for vulnerabilities; train teams to prevent recurring issues.
Hardware Security: Provide guidance on hardware security measures and Secure Hardware Modules (SHM).
Cryptography: Ensure correct application of basic cryptographic techniques for data protection.
Compliance Alignment: Support adherence to relevant standards such as ISO 21434 (Automotive), IEC 62443 (Industrial), NIST SP 800 , EU CRA and ISO 27001.
