In particular, strengthen mechanisms and tools to enhance readiness and resilience against cyber threats across the Alliance, focusing in particular on Mission Vital Infrastructure (MVI).

This position contributes to the Cyber Risk Management function of CDT, supporting the risk-informed decision-making process of the ECISOA. It provides specialist analysis and advice to inform CDT leadership's cybersecurity decisions across the Division's areas of responsibility.
