What the job involves

In today’s highly interconnected digital ecosystem, managing cyber risks across the supply chain is essential to securing our enterprise
The increasing reliance on third-party software and service providers—coupled with the growing sophistication of supply chain-based cyber threats—requires a strategic, proactive approach to risk identification and mitigation
We are seeking a seasoned Information Security Engineer to play a vital role in fortifying our end-to-end cyber supply chain security risk management efforts
In this role, you will assess and manage cyber risks associated with external partners, suppliers, platforms, and integrations—ensuring that our technology ecosystem remains resilient and compliant
You will collaborate closely with Label partners and information security engineering, product security, security operations, risk management and other information security teams to evaluate supplier security posture, monitor for cyber supply chain vulnerabilities, and implement robust risk mitigation strategies
Your efforts will directly support the business by enabling secure, reliable, and compliant supplier relationships across the enterprise
Conduct comprehensive cyber risk assessments on suppliers, vendors, and third-party service providers leveraging questionnaires and technical assessments
Evaluate and review technical integrations with third-party systems, services, and APIs/SDKs to ensure secure architecture and data flows, including verification of security configurations and controls
Collaborate with architecture, engineering, and Label-partner technical integration teams to assess risks introduced through direct and indirect system integrations and define security requirements for third-party contracts and security addendums
Collaborate with the C-SCRM Lead to develop and maintain a cyber supply chain cybersecurity risk management strategy aligned with industry standards (e.g., NIST SP 800-161, etc.), tailored to the Company's strategic objectives, and regularly updated based on evolving threats and regulations
Monitor and evaluate third-party risk indicators and threat intelligence relevant to cyber supply chain operations, including security ratings, vulnerability disclosures, and security incidents, potentially utilizing security monitoring tools and threat intelligence platforms
Recommend and define specific security requirements and guidelines for third-party connections, proposing controls and mitigation strategies for cyber supply chain risks, including compensating controls when necessary, and validating the implementation of these controls
Collaborate with internal teams during incident response scenarios involving cyber supply chain partners, including investigation, communication, and reporting, if needed
Track and report on supply chain cyber risks and control effectiveness to senior leadership through defined metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) in a clear and concise manner, communicating risk findings and remediation efforts to relevant stakeholders
Stay updated on current threats, vulnerabilities, and regulatory changes impacting the cyber supply chain landscape through continuous learning, participation in industry forums, and professional development, and evaluate and recommend new tools and technologies for supply chain risk management

Our take

Parent company to some of the most successful video game companies and titles is Take-Two Interactive, one of the leading developers, publishers, and marketers of consumer interactive entertainment around the globe.

Developing and publishing principally through Rockstar Games, 2K, Private Division, and Zynga, Take-Two has powered industry-leading titles such as Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption 1&2, the catalog of NBA 2K games, BioShock, and FarmVille.

The company is looking to enter the world of crypto and blockchain, beginning with Zynga's Web3 game Sugartown in 2023. When competitor Ubisoft became the first developer to launch NFTs, the move faced backlash as many users saw it as a cash grab, which has certainly influenced Take-Two’s delay in entering the market. Time will tell how this foray into blockchain pans out for Take-Two.

With its well-established catalog of games (with some highly anticipated title releases) Take-Two Interactive is a titan in the industry and is well set to see continued success, not only as its subsidiaries expand but through the capitalization of future tech opportunities in the highly innovative gaming industry.
