Security Product Management Lead (695885)

About this opportunity
Telecom networks are evolving rapidly across a broad technological environment which includes virtualization, disaggregation, cloud, AI, IoT and Industry 4.0. At the same time there is an increasing focus on security both in the industry as well as with regulators and legislators. To meet the challenges this generates Ericsson is consolidating a Security Transformation Capability to reach the wanted position of having “Security embedded, integrity delivered”.

To support the organization to reach the wanted position for security, a Security Operations Organization is being set-up in R&D in Business Unit Networks (BNEW) to strengthen Ericsson’s competence within security assurance.

The new Security Operations Organization is being established as a key function, with one direct report to the Head of Operations. The Security line organization will be engaged in driving research, analysis, and development to enable the R&D organization to take on the execution of security related topics.
