The Security team at SmartNews protects and strengthens the company's overall security posture, working proactively rather than reactively across both our product and our corporate environment. On the Security Operations side, the team monitors systems continuously, detects and investigates threats, and manages security incidents and vulnerabilities through to resolution. On the Governance, Risk, and Compliance side, the team sets the standards and policies that guide how
SmartNews handles security, and ensures we meet our obligations under applicable legal and industry requirements. Rather than operating as a separate gatekeeping function, the team embeds security practices directly into product development and day-to-day business operations, so that protecting our users, our data, and our platform is a shared discipline across the organization.
SmartNewsのセキュリティチームは、受動的な対応ではなく能動的な取り組みを通じて、プロダクトとコーポレート環境の双方にわたり、全社的なセキュリティ体制の保護と強化を担っています。セキュリティオペレーションの領域では、システムを常時モニタリングし、脅威の検知と調査を行い、セキュリティインシデントや脆弱性を解決に至るまで一貫して管理します。ガバナンス・リスク・コンプライアンス(GRC)の領域では、SmartNewsにおけるセキュリティ対応の指針となる基準やポリシーを策定し、適用される法令および業界標準上の要件を確実に満たせるようにしています。また、当チームは独立したゲートキーパーとして機能するのではなく、プロダクト開発や日々の事業運営そのものにセキュリティのプラクティスを組み込むことで、ユーザー・データ・プラットフォームの保護を組織全体で共有される規律として根付かせています。
Manage security inquiries, partner audits, and compliance obligations (including JSOX and enterprise deal requirements) in collaboration with key business stakeholders.
SmartNewsのインフラおよびプロダクト全体を対象に、脅威の検知と対応(Detection & Response)の体制を構築し、継続的に高度化する。
