Together we achieve more than alone

We believe in the power of difference. Bringing together people's differences is what makes us an even better bank. So, we are very curious about what you can bring to our team at the Security Expertise Center.

‘No day is really the same within security, primary focus is designing secure solutions and advising business and IT on implementing secure systems. These systems are within our own data centers, next to cloud services we are using or in collaboration with partners. Focus is not just on the Netherlands; a global focus is really required. Cybercrime is on-going 24/7 worldwide; our task is to keep the bank safe in the first place.’

‘You will work together with IT and with business on their needs and the threats you see to business externally but also internally. This requires an ongoing dialogue with all parties involved and a good oversight of the business domain. It is very nice to have a team of dedicated colleagues in the Netherlands and abroad. Next to direct colleagues in the team we also work closely together with our colleagues in the Cyber Defence Center and Identity & Access Management.’
