Green IT Practices

1. Monitor networks and systems for security breaches or intrusions and respond promptly to mitigate risks. 2. Conduct vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to identify security weaknesses and recommend remediation strategies. 3. Develop and implement incident response plans to address security breaches, including containment, eradication, and recovery. 4. Conduct security awareness programs and train employees on cybersecurity best practices and policies. 5. analyse security incidents and conduct forensic investigations to determine the root cause and impact of breaches. 6. collaborate with IT teams to implement security controls and configurations based on risk assessments and industry best practices. 7. research and evaluate emerging cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities to proactively recommend preventive measures. 8. participate in the development and testing of security protocols, encryption techniques, and access control measures. 9. prepare and present reports to management on cybersecurity posture, incidents, and recommendations for improvement.

1. collect and analyse data from various sources to extract meaningful insights and inform business decisions. 2. design and create visualisations and dashboards to present data trends and findings to stakeholders. 3. clean, preprocess, and organise data to ensure accuracy and readiness for analysis. 4. perform statistical analysis using tools like Excel and Python to uncover patterns, correlations, and trends in data sets. 5. collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand data requirements and deliver actionable insights. 6. automate data collection and analysis processes to streamline operations and improve efficiency. 7. conduct data quality assessments and implement data cleansing techniques to maintain data integrity. 8. utilise machine learning and predictive modeling techniques to forecast trends and outcomes. 9. stay updated on data analysis techniques and tools to enhance analytical capabilities. 10. communicate findings and recommendations to non-technical stakeholders in a clear and understandable manner.

1. install and configure database management systems (DBMS) software and related tools. 2. perform regular maintenance tasks, such as backups, updates, and performance tuning, to ensure optimal database operation. 3. implement and maintain database security measures to protect sensitive data from unauthorised access and breaches. 4. develop and implement backup and recovery strategies to ensure data integrity and availability in case of database failures or disasters. 5. monitor database performance and capacity to ensure scalability and efficiency. 6. optimise database queries and schema design to improve application performance. 7. collaborate with developers to design and implement database solutions that meet application requirements. 8. troubleshoot database issues and provide timely resolution to minimise downtime. 9. document database configurations, processes, and procedures. stay updated on database technologies and best practices to recommend and implement improvements.

1. Design, implement, and manage infrastructure as code (IaC) solutions using tools like Terraform or CloudFormation. 2. implement and maintain Continuous Integration (CI)/ Continuous Delivery (CD) pipelines to automate software delivery and deployment processes. 3. configure and manage monitoring and logging systems to ensure high availability and performance of applications and services. 4. collaborate with development and operations teams to streamline workflows and improve efficiency through automation and integration. 5. ensure security best practices are integrated into the CI/CD pipeline and infrastructure. 6. troubleshoot production issues and coordinate with development teams to resolve them promptly. 7. optimise cloud infrastructure costs and resource utilisation through continuous monitoring and analysis. 8. conduct performance testing and capacity planning to scale applications and infrastructure. 9. document and maintain infrastructure and deployment procedures. 10. stay updated on industry trends and best practices in DevOps, cloud computing, and automation.

1. develop and implement IT compliance policies and procedures based on industry regulations and standards. 2. conduct risk assessments to identify potential compliance issues and vulnerabilities within IT systems and processes. 3. Coordinated and oversee internal and external audits to ensure adherence to IT compliance requirements and standards. 4. develop and conduct training programs to educate employees on IT compliance policies, procedures, and best practices. 5. monitor and enforce compliance with data protection regulations, such as GDPR or CCPA, to protect sensitive information. 6. collaborate with legal and regulatory affairs teams to interpret and implement changes in IT compliance laws and regulations. 7. maintain documentation and records related to IT compliance activities and audit findings. 8. implement controls and measures to mitigate risks associated with IT compliance violations. 9. liaise with external regulators and auditors to address compliance issues and findings. 10. provide guidance and support to IT teams on integrating compliance requirements into system development and operations.

1. develop and implement information security strategies and programs to protect organisational data and systems. 2. conduct regular risk assessments and develop risk management plans to mitigate security threats and vulnerabilities. 3. develop and oversee incident response plans and procedures to address security incidents promptly and effectively. 4. ensure compliance with relevant security standards, regulations, and laws through audits, assessments, and continuous monitoring. 5. collaborate with executive management to align information security initiatives with business objectives and priorities. 6. manage and mentor a team of cybersecurity professionals, providing guidance and support in security operations. 7. monitor emerging threats and trends in cybersecurity, implementing proactive measures to safeguard against potential risks. 8. evaluate and recommend security technologies, tools, and solutions to enhance the organisation's security posture. 9. conduct security awareness training and education programs for employees to promote a culture of cybersecurity awareness. 10. prepare and present regular reports on the organisation's security status, incidents, and mitigation efforts.
