This global leadership role in cyber security is to manage the Security Operations (SecOps) team responsible for design, implementation and evolution of Canonical security practices, techniques, tools, systems and policies.

The SecOps team's mission is not only to secure Canonical, but also to contribute to the security of the wider open source ecosystem.
