Hi, my name is Roy

I work as a Red Teamer for Shell CyberDefence

What I'm trying to do every single day is

I'm trying to break our own defences

What I’m doing is, I'm performing Red Teaming

assessments in which we simulate an attack

as a real-life adversary could perform on us

as realistically as we potentially can

We're training ourselves to make sure if we're ever hit

by one of these adversaries, we are ready

and we can fend off an attack like that as well as possible

so that it doesn't have any impact on us.

Something that definitely

stands out from all the organizations that I've worked for,

That is, within Shell, you have a lot of different co-workers,

but they all have one thing in common

 

everyone is an absolute expert

and very passionate about what they do.

I definitely think that Shell is a very interesting organization to work for,

If you really like to challenge yourself, and to challenge

an organization that already has a very high level of maturity,

then I definitely think this would be something that is very

interesting for you as well

The changing IT landscape provides many opportunities to move our business into the digital world, enabling improvements in the way Shell operates.

As part of Shell IT Operate, CyberDefence has specific focus on identifying cyber threats, discovery of IT vulnerabilities, advising on preventative security measures, monitoring for cyber intrusions and response to security incidents. It ensures that Shell can make use of the opportunities provided by the digital transformation effectively and securely.

What do we do in Security & Compliance?

As part of Shell’s strategy to become faster in adapting digital technology and to leverage new opportunities, Security & Compliance team takes cues from Shell IT Line of Defense model and Industry best practices to fully implement line of defense role demarcation in the Shell IT landscape. Identifying various risks to business objectives and deciding on respective risk responses is at the center of Security & Compliance's function. Security & Compliance also focuses on mitigation of the identified risks through implementation and operation of relevant controls.
