Your challenge

Securing the network and information systems on which our generation activities are based, is an essential component of our operations today and tomorrow.

Main activities

• You work closely with the responsible/designated persons in the concerned production sites, the IT department of Thermal Europe and external consultants.

• When putting in place security measures, you look at both technical and organizational measures necessary to manage the security risks. These measures should ensure an adequate level of physical and logical security. In fulfilling the external requirements, you rely, at least as a guideline, on the international standard ISO 27001. You also contribute in the implementation of a relevant cyber security management system.
• Within the core project team you assist in monitoring the deadlines, budget and quality of the project. You support both the exchange with authorities and the exchange/coordination with the various GBUs/entities active in Belgium.
