• Contribute to root-cause analysis and ensure corrective actions are embedded into platform governance.

• Serve as the subject matter expert for cloud security topics across KONE IT.
• Provide clear communication on risks, posture results, and security remediation needs.
• Collaborate closely with platform engineers, architects, Dev Ops teams, and service partners.
• Act as the governance liaison between Cybersecurity and platform engineering, ensuring consistent interpretation and implementation of security requirements.

• Strong understanding of AWS, Azure, and on-prem infrastructure security.
• Experience with vulnerability management, risk assessments, and compliance monitoring.
• Familiarity with CSPM tooling and cloud configuration best practices.
• Understanding cloud shared responsibility models across IaaS/PaaS/SaaS.

• 6-8 yrs of experience from supporting cloud security operations, alert handling, or incident analysis.
• Exposure to ISO 27017 or similar cloud security frameworks.
• Background in security governance, cloud compliance, or platform-level security architecture is an advantage.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset.
• A clear communicator with the ability to translate technical details into actionable insights.
