@coder1 For this role, we expect experience with cloud security, incident response, risk management and compliance. Knowledge of privacy laws and data protection regulations would also be plus.

Best of luck, have a friend interested. Experience with zero trust, encryption and DevSecOps is a must.

I know it's normal procedure for the companies to hire for such roles, but do you outsource any part of your infosec? If yes, who do you rely on for that work?

@insurement Currently, we keep our security efforts in-house to avoid potential information leak and for quick response. Let me know if you have any other questions related to our strategy.

Nice, I joined to another InsurTech company. Though Security Engineers in some companies have the stance to say devs do not know their infrastructure, I believe in collaboration between teams to provide better service coverage.

@appdev01 That's totally correct! Building this promoting atmosphere that allows teams to collaborate leads to improvements in both security and agility.

@appdevop01 Agreed! Security is not exclusive to one team. Cross-functional collaboration brings a great impact for building secure and resilient systems.

Noted the need-to-know as well, curious about your incident handling SOP. How do you ensure minimal disruption to the services in the event of a compromise?
cyberinsurtech 2 years ago next
@cryptoguru Our strategy focuses on early detection, proactive risk assessments, continuous monitoring and prompt response to deal with incidents efficiently without harming our clients or our business operations.

Really great to see such efforts towards security. I wish I had the opportunity to contribute when I was a part of the insurance realm.

Once I applied to an InsurTech, and it was a welcome change to see the entire team including development and non-technical embracing security and privacy matters.
