We are seeking a future team member for the role of Senior Director, Nation-State Cyber Supply Chain Risk to join our Technology Risk Management team. This executive role is responsible for identifying, assessing, and mitigating cyber risks to BNY’s supply chain posed by advanced persistent threats (APTs) and hostile nation states. The role ensures these risks are integrated into the firm’s broader enterprise risk management (ERM) framework. The role includes strategic oversight and operational execution of cybersecurity risk management related to nation-state threats and third-party supply chain vulnerabilities. This leader will be instrumental in shaping and executing our cyber defense strategy across critical third-party and fourth-party ecosystems, with a particular emphasis on geopolitical threat actors and systemic vulnerabilities in the financial services supply chain. The position reports to the Chief Technology Risk Officer and requires cross-functional collaboration with technology, legal, compliance, and business units.
This exciting role entails one thing: systematically assessing BNY’s third-party ecosystem, technologies, controls, and dependencies for readiness to withstand threats from nation-state cyber actors. Activities include, but would not be limited to:
- Collaborate with business lines to identify critical supply chain dependencies and potential targets of nation-state actors.
- Analyze how nation-state actors might exploit third-party vendors, software supply chains, or hardware dependencies to compromise BNY.
- Assess how supply chain operations can support, accelerate, or advance on-net operations.
- Rigorously assess and determine the firm’s ability to detect, prevent, and respond to supply chain-focused nation-state capabilities.
- Develop a comprehensive risk posture for each business line based on supply chain exposure to nation-state threats.
- Recommend strategic and tactical mitigation options, including vendor risk management enhancements, with clear risk-reduction tradeoffs.
- Communicate findings to executive leadership and support informed risk decision-making.
- Provide oversight and challenge to remediation efforts across the supply chain risk landscape.
- Design and lead our cyber supply chain risk management program, with a focus on nation-state threat vectors, geopolitical risk, and critical third-party dependencies.
- Oversee cybersecurity due diligence and continuous monitoring of third-party vendors, particularly those in critical infrastructure or high-risk geographies.
- Lead planning and simulation exercises for supply chain-related cyber incidents, ensuring rapid containment, recovery, and integration of lessons learned.
To be successful in this role, we're seeking the following:
- At least 10 years of experience in offensive cyber operations or intelligence analysis at the NSA (preferably TAO/CNO), CIA (preferably DDI/COG), or equivalent roles within the Five Eyes intelligence community, with a focus on supply chain exploitation or defense.
- Alternatively, experience with the British Secret Intelligence Service, the UK Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), or equivalent services from the Five Eyes community of nations in the cyber mission will also be considered.
- Deep expertise in nation-state and APT threat landscapes, particularly in tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used to compromise third-party vendors, software/hardware supply chains, and systemic infrastructure.
- Proven experience in third-party risk management, vendor due diligence, and continuous monitoring of cyber risks across complex supply chain ecosystems.
- Strong background in intelligence integration, incident response, and geopolitical risk analysis as it relates to supply chain resilience.
