[What you will be working on]
The Cyber Security Group (CSG) is the cybersecurity arm of GovTech. CSG is committed to create a digital government that is safe and secure. CSG delivers technical and operational capabilities to counteract cyber threats, provides thought leadership on transformative cybersecurity governance and policies and to strengthen the cybersecurity posture of government agencies in a manner that is sustainable, pragmatic, and effective.
To enhance infocomm security capabilities in GovTech and the Whole-of-Government (WOG), GovTech appoints Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) teams at the various ministries to oversee infocomm security management.
As the Security Operations Specialist within the Ministry CISO (MCISO) Office, you will be the lead architect of the Ministry’s operational resilience. You are responsible for ensuring that the entire Ministry Family, spanning multiple agencies maintains a high state of readiness against cyber threats. You will standardise incident response, oversee comprehensive monitoring, and drive advanced resiliency testing (such as chaos testing) to ensure that the Ministry can withstand and recover from sophisticated attacks.
Key Responsibilities
- Incident Management & Response Standardisation
- Unified Playbooks: Establish and maintain Ministry-wide Incident Response (IR) playbooks for diverse threat scenarios (e.g., Ransomware, Data Exfiltration, Cloud breaches).
- Crisis Leadership: Provide direct guidance and technical oversight to agencies during High and Critical severity incidents, ensuring timely reporting and effective containment.
- Incident Governance: Work with Agency CIOs and CISOs to establish clear command structures and roles, empowering leaders to make difficult, high-stakes decisions during a crisis.
- Operational Readiness & Resiliency Testing
- Advanced Exercises: Design and oversee high-quality Tabletop Exercises (TTX) for various stakeholders (system owners, SIROs, CISOs, CIOs). You will evaluate external vendors to ensure these exercises are realistic, comprehensive, and push the Ministry’s limits.
- Chaos Testing: Drive the adoption of chaos testing across agencies to validate the adequacy of resiliency plans and identify hidden failure points in critical systems.
- Capability Building: Continuously assess the operational readiness of the Ministry Family and lead initiatives to bridge identified gaps in incident management.
- Continuous Monitoring & Asset Governance
- Centralised Monitoring: Ensure all Ministry systems are effectively onboarded to central monitoring services. Work with system owners on overcoming challenges encountered during onboarding.
- Asset Visibility: Partner with Agency CIOs to maintain a robust and updated IT asset inventory, ensuring that "you cannot protect what you do not know."
- Custom Threat Scenarios: Provide expert guidance for agencies with unique threat use cases or specialised systems (e.g., OT/ICS) that fall outside standard monitoring coverage, helping them build bespoke detection capabilities.
- Vulnerability & Attack Surface Management
- Full-Spectrum SOPs: Establish Standard Operating Procedures for vulnerability management across on-premises, cloud (GCC), and OT environments. Ensure that there are proper procedures for managing unpatched vulnerabilities.
- Attack Surface Scanning: Ensure agencies deploy adequate internal and external scanning tools. You will oversee the workflow for finding prioritisation and validate that patches are applied and effective.
- Advocacy & Education
- Resilience Culture:
