Norges Bank Investment Management has a strategic ambition to strengthen our cyber-defenses significantly over the next few years. To achieve this goal, we need true cyber-security specialists to join and strengthen the Information Security Risk team. The team is a 2nd line function working for the Chief Governance and Compliance Officer who reports directly to the CEO, but also independently to the Executive Board. We are a dedicated specialist team in the Operational Risk and Control group who manage, advise, train, and report on the operational risks in the fund, whereby cyber-security is considered a significant risk.
The fund has invested in more than 9000 companies, partnered with around 80 external fund managers and rely on more than 1000 providers where the majority is delivering IT services. Simply put we place a great deal of control into our vendors’ hands. Protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our information, regardless of whether it is handled by us or third parties, is paramount to our organisation and the mission we are tasked to execute. With our cloud-first strategy, we believe that dependencies on third parties will expand even further and require us to challenge and rethink how we manage cyber-security risks. Therefore, we seek for a person who can take the lead in this field.
