As part of Cybersecurity Consulting within the Digital Transformation and Technology (DTT) department's cybersecurity team, you will serve as a trusted advisor to other teams by applying cybersecurity expertise across multiple domains.

The role will advise on cybersecurity requirements for complex systems and initiatives, especially those involving mobile applications, cloud-hosted workloads, APIs, sensitive data, third-party integrations, and modern software delivery practices. You will help teams identify risks early, translate cybersecurity and privacy requirements into practical implementation guidance, and support secure-by-design decisions throughout the lifecycle of digital products and platforms. The role will also contribute to the continuous improvement of cybersecurity standards, secure development expectations, assessment methods, governance practices, and architecture patterns that help protect Chick-fil-A digital resources and information. You will be responsible to advise your colleagues on best practices to establish security in multiple business areas and remediate security gaps in existing projects that span all current and imagined technologies, especially in mobile and cloud environments.
