Technology and cybersecurity are increasingly important for the continuity, resilience, and reliability of organizations. At KPMG, you help clients understand and manage cyber risks. You also assess whether their governance, processes, and controls form a reliable basis for decision-making, compliance with laws and regulations, and external assurance.

“Cyber is increasingly touching the core of an organization. In this role, you help clients translate complex cyber risks into what they concretely mean for their operational resilience, governance, and risk management. It is precisely the combination of cyber knowledge, audit skills, and a broad view of the organization that makes the work within ITA challenging AND relevant.”
