What You'll Do
As the Global Cybersecurity Senior Manager for Attack Surface Management, you will lead BCG's enterprise Attack Surface Management service, transforming technical security findings into prioritized risk decisions and measurable remediation outcomes. Working across infrastructure, cloud, network, and identity security domains, you will provide continuous visibility into enterprise cyber exposure while enabling technology teams to reduce organizational risk through effective remediation.
You will serve as an enterprise subject matter expert for Attack Surface Management within Information Security Risk Management (ISRM). By partnering across Security Operations, Infrastructure, Cloud, Identity, Network, and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) teams, you will drive consistent risk prioritization, improve operational processes, and deliver executive-level reporting that strengthens BCG's cybersecurity posture.
Your responsibilities will include:
1. Triage Attack Surface Findings (Heart of the Role)
- Review misconfigurations and vulnerabilities surfaced across scanning platforms covering:
- Infrastructure and endpoint exposure
- Cloud misconfigurations and workload risk
- Network vulnerabilities and segmentation gaps
- Identity and privilege-related exposures
- Leverage AI-powered vulnerability assessment tools to continuously scan, correlate, and surface high-priority findings across domains at scale
- Classify findings by:
- Criticality per BCG risk index
- Acceptable vs. contextual risk vs. noise
- Use AI-assisted triaging workflows to accelerate initial classification, pattern detection, and anomaly identification across large volumes of findings
- Remove false positives using business context and asset criticality scoring, augmented by AI-driven noise reduction and contextual filtering
- Prioritise remediation based on severity, exploitability, blast radius, and business alignment
2. Interpret & Contextualise Attack Surface Risk
- Determine the business impact of open findings including:
- Unpatched critical vulnerabilities
- Exposed assets and services
- Misconfigured cloud and network controls
- Privilege escalation pathways
- Map findings to real attack paths and regulatory requirements
- Apply AI-generated risk scoring and attack path simulation to enrich contextualisation and identify non-obvious exposure chains
- Translate technical findings into plain-English risk narratives for both technical teams and executive stakeholders including CISO, CIO, CTO, and CRO
- Leverage AI-assisted reporting to generate structured, executive-ready risk summaries and trend analyses, reducing manual reporting effort and improving consistency
3. Drive Remediation Outcomes
- Recommend specific actions such as:
- Patch prioritisation and deployment
- Misconfiguration remediation
- Asset hardening and configuration baseline enforcement
- Policy or process refinement
- Utilise AI-driven prioritisation models to rank remediation actions by predicted impact, exploitability likelihood, and asset criticality
- Partner with Infrastructure, Cloud, Network, Identity, and GRC teams to drive remediation to closure
- Track findings through resolution and validate measurable reduction in attack surface exposure
4. Build Repeatable Playbooks
- Develop playbooks for:
- Critical vulnerability triage and escalation
- Cloud misconfiguration remediation
- Network exposure management
- Identity and privilege-related attack surface risks
- Embed AI-assisted triage and classification steps within playbooks to enable faster, more consistent execution across teams
- Define:
- Severity thresholds and risk scoring criteria
- Escalation criteria and ownership assignment
- SLA expectations for remediation by risk tier
- Tune scanning tool policies to reduce noise and improve signal quality across Tenable, Wiz, and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, incorporating AI-based tuning recommendations where available
5. Serve as the Internal Attack Surface Management Expert
- Be one of the go-to subject matter experts on Attack Surface Management for the Cybersecurity team
- Help teams understand dashboards, risk trends, and exposure reports from scanning platforms, including AI-generated insights and predictive risk indicators
- Champion the adoption of AI-led vulnerability assessment and reporting capabilities across ISRM and partner teams
- Support audit and compliance inquiries with evidence-based risk documentation, leveraging AI-generated audit trails and reporting outputs where applicable
Success in this role will be measured through:
- Consistent reduction in critical and high-risk vulnerabilities across the enterprise.
- Improved time-to-triage for vulnerabilities across infrastructure, cloud, network, and identity domains.
- Increased percentage of findings with documented business justification or active remediation plans.
- Demonstrable reduction in enterprise attack surface exposure.
- Increased executive confidence in cybersecurity risk reporting and remediation effectiveness.
What You'll Bring
Must-Have
- 8+ years in cybersecurity, with at least 3 years focused on attack surface management, vulnerability management, or exposure management
- Strong understanding of:
- Vulnerability lifecycle and risk-based prioritisation
- Misconfiguration risks across cloud, network, and infrastructure environments
- Identity and privilege-related attack surface exposure
- Hands-on experience with tools such as Tenable, Wiz, and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
- Ability to analyse complex, multi-domain risk landscapes and communicate clearly to executive stakeholders
- Proven experience leading security teams and driving cross-functional remediation programmes
Nice-to-Have
- Experience with CVSS scoring, EPSS, and threat intelligence integration into prioritisation workflows
- Familiarity with cloud IAM and identity security (Entra ID, Okta, AWS IAM)
- Exposure to Zero Trust frameworks and principles
- Familiarity with ServiceNow or Jira for vulnerability tracking and remediation workflows
- Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CEH, or equivalent.
Who You'll Work With
