However, with changes come risks - that the new technology will be insecure or not implemented correctly. But with risk comes opportunity - major infrastructure changes are a great time to enhance overall security. Currently, the client has major projects underway in server and workstation virtualization, multi factor authentication, vulnerability management, and remote access etc. The Architect will dive into these projects with a goal to ensure the new technology is secure.

He / She needs to be paranoid and constantly sniffing out badness, and to scream loudly and clearly about the badness and risks that he/she sees. • Needs to be comfortable in a good argument / have thick skin and a strong will • Has no trouble holding people accountable (needs to be a standard bearer, and call people out when they violate policies, etc.) • Relentless about getting to the truth. Values • Passion for quality design and execution – an intense hatred for badness and real zeal to see things done well (not perfectly) • Strong sense of ownership – willing to do whatever it takes to achieve results • Open to giving and receiving direct criticism in an environment where people are encouraged to challenge and criticize management of all levels. Abilities • Able to assess project designs to identify security problems • Probing – able to relentlessly ask the right questions to find problems and get to root causes • Synthesis – able to quickly perceive the most important things after observing complexity • Ability to remain goal focused on securing Bridgewater • “Seeing the movie” – able to look at the current state and understand what needs to be done in order to reach the vision.
