Member of a team maps B2B Solution Enablement to the Third Party Risk Assessment process for the Global Information Protection, Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) team. Before a partner is enabled, I work with the Third-Party Risk and Information Security groups to assess, analyze, and measure risks to determine if effective controls are in place to current threat environments; our role is to assist with enablement during inception of a project in order to take steps to remediate vulnerabilities and improve long-term security posture. Thereafter I assist with deployment of the assessed systems, both internal and cloud systems as a solution to third party providers that have an outsourced contract with Amgen. I am responsible for working with internal Information Technology product teams and Business teams to align Amgen business processes to external B2B providers that share data and access any of our systems or collaboration tools. I actively collaborate with Amgen teams to understand business objectives, possess intermediate knowledge of authentication methodologies, network layers and protocols, data center virtualization, cloud-based platforms: infrastructure, applications, and storage services; ultimately identifying solutions that enable business and ensure information security and compliance. I am responsible for leading process improvement activities, participating in information protection special projects and other risk management related activities.

My role bridges between information security risk management, business and technology. I lead a team that ensures information security standards are met for all B2B engagements that require secure remote access solutions. We assist with access control when onboarding external users who require limited visibility into systems that reside on the Amgen network or in the cloud. We assist with the management of network connections for internal and external deployments throughout an application or platform’s lifecycle. Through the gathering of detailed business requirements surrounding protecting corporate data and assets, I train our team to analyze use cases and recommend which tool to use and when. I vet all SFTP connections, manage the MOVEit platform for secure file transfers and assist with deployments that support large data transfers at Amgen on other platforms. I support our escalation process for connectivity and cyber security threats. Our charter is to assist with IT vendor management for providers that have access collaborative platforms such as Office O365, Salesforce, AWS, Box, Veeva, SumTotal and Box. I help enable, configure and engage access to our internal systems and collaboration tools. I support the deployment of new and emerging technologies securely to Amgen’s functional service providers, managed service providers, consulting companies, technology and pharmaceutical alliance partners. I am adept at reviewing processes and operations, reverse engineering and determining requirements and compatibility. I am responsible for consulting, vendor assessments for onboarding new EBPs into our internal ecosystem.
