Cyber Response, Associate Director / Director

Cyber Response is one of five pillars in KPMG’s cyber security business, the others being Strategy & Governance, Transformation, Cyber Defence (Ethical Hacking) and Education (Training).The Cyber Response team primarily assists clients who have experienced a cyber security incident such as ransomware, business e‑mail compromise or other kinds of network intrusion.

We investigate the root cause of the incident and the extent of the breach – what systems were affected and if data was exfiltrated. We also help clients to recover from the incident – help restore systems and expel intruders from the network as well as provide practical recommendations on how to prevent further incidents. The typical output of our work is a report which is used by client’s management or sent to regulators such as Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC).Other activities include preparing clients for incidents by improving the processes, writing playbooks simulating incidents through war games and providing bespoke training.

You will work with an experienced team of forensic professionals, cyber incident coordinators, security professionals, attorneys, and corporate partners. As your experience grows, you will have opportunity to work in other pillars, but your first few years will be directed to become proficient in cyber response.

This role involves :

• Leading and managing the response to cyber‑security incident response engagements.
• Helping with commercial proposals to clients based on existing templates.
• Coaching and managing colleagues.
• Being hands‑on as required to deliver incident response & digital forensics engagements.
• Working directly with end clients and helping them deal with their cyber‑security challenges.

Cybersecurity incidents can occur at inconvenient times such as on a Friday afternoon. You will have to be flexible to accommodate the need to work outside of regular office hours. We value your wellbeing and are committed to being mindful of your personal and family needs. Through KPMG’s “Take Charge” program, we provide you with the flexibility to set your working hours. We encourage you to make best use of your time by working from office and home as appropriate.
