About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Establish AI Security Governance Frameworks: Author, implement, and maintain the bank's enterprise-wide AI Security Policy. Align our internal AI governance with international standards (such as NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and OWASP Top 10 for LLMs) while strictly ensuring compliance with evolving Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) regulations and the Egyptian Data Protection Law.
Design & Build Cybersecurity Controls: Architect, enforce, and validate technical and administrative security controls tailored for the entire AI/ML lifecycle (Data Ingestion, Training, Deployment, and Inference). This includes building robust controls against data poisoning, model inversion, prompt injection, and unauthorized data exfiltration.
Secure MLOps Architecture: Define the reference architectures and secure guardrails for our Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) pipelines. Ensure that security checks, vulnerability scanning, and model integrity verifications are seamlessly integrated into our continuous deployment workflows.
Advanced AI Threat Modeling & Risk Assessment: Lead comprehensive risk assessments and threat-modeling exercises on all proprietary and third-party AI implementations. Identify structural risks in algorithmic logic, training data pipelines, and API integrations, translating technical risks into clear business governance metrics.
Third-Party & Vendor AI Governance: Develop and execute rigorous cybersecurity assessment frameworks for evaluating third-party AI tools, cloud-hosted models, and external vendors, ensuring they meet the bank’s strict data privacy and control standards.
