Occupation
Cyber Security Architect
A Cyber Security Architect designs the high-level security structure of an organization's IT environment, producing security architecture design blueprints that account for risk management priorities across business units. They design cloud security controls across AWS, Azure, or GCP, increasingly building toward zero trust architecture rather than traditional perimeter-based models, and define identity and access management standards that other teams implement. This senior, strategic role typically reports to a CISO and is held by highly experienced security professionals who have progressed from security engineering or analyst roles into enterprise-wide design responsibility.
