Our team develops, maintains, and utilizes cutting-edge security tools to safeguard the university, with proud achievements that include network detection and response , chatops-based operations, and an annual cybersecurity festival, which engages the community and promotes awareness. In our small team, automation is key, and you will play a crucial role in minimizing repetitive tasks, allowing us to focus on strategic initiatives. We are committed to fostering a culture of training and professional development, offering a generous training budget and opportunities for both technical and leadership training to everyone. Every team member is the leader of the services they are responsible for and contributes to our team strategy and initiatives. Join us in making a difference while advancing your career in a supportive and innovative environment!
