About The Position

The Cybersecurity & Risk Manager is a shared, hands-on cybersecurity resource supporting Data Guide Cable (DGC), LUTZE, and Amphenol Energy Technologies (AET). The role identifies cybersecurity risks and implements technical and process changes to reduce them across business systems, networks, cloud services, endpoints, identities, and manufacturing technology environments. Working with local IT teams, business leaders, Corporate IT and Cybersecurity, Operations, vendors, and third-party providers, this person conducts assessments, troubleshoots gaps, configures and deploys security controls, coordinates changes, validates remediation, and maintains cybersecurity practices across supported locations.
