Culture & Enablement

● Build and sustain a cybersecurity-aware culture: design and run targeted awareness campaigns, phishing simulations, and role-based training

● Act as a trusted advisor to country CFOs and country IT Managers, making cybersecurity understandable and actionable

● Help grow the cybersecurity capability within the broader Group IT team to make cybersecurity a habit
