Enterprise Product Security Strategy and Governance • Own the enterprise Product Security strategy and multi-year roadmap spanning all product lines. • Establish company-wide product security policies, standards, and governance models applied consistently across organizations. • Drive alignment and accountability for security outcomes through partnership and influence. Cross-Functional Partnership and Enablement • Partner closely with engineering, architecture, product management, quality, legal, supply chain, and operations teams. • Enable teams to integrate security-by-design practices through guidance, tooling, and shared accountability. • Act as a connector across organizations to resolve security issues that span multiple teams or products. Risk Management and Decision Support • Establish an enterprise product security risk management framework that enables consistent identification, prioritization, and treatment of risk. • Translate technical vulnerabilities and architectural risks into clear business and customer impact assessments. • Support executive decision-making by framing risk tradeoffs, mitigation options, and residual risk acceptance. • Provide ongoing visibility into enterprise risk posture, emerging threats, and systemic issues. PSIRT Executive Leadership and External Engagement • Serve as the executive owner of Marvell’s Product Security Incident Response Team (PCIRT). • Lead cross-functional response to significant product security incidents, including executive briefings and customer communications. • Oversee coordinated vulnerability disclosure and engagement with external researchers, customers, and partners. • Ensure consistent, accurate, and timely security communications during incidents. People, Influence, and Culture • Build and lead a core product security and PCIRT leadership team while operating within a federated model. • Develop security champions and trusted partnerships across engineering organizations. • Foster a culture of transparency, accountability, and proactive risk management across Marvell. Key Metrics and Success Measures • Executive and stakeholder confidence in product security risk communication and decision support. • Consistent enterprise adoption of security-by-design and SDL practices. • Reduction in systemic and repeat product security risks. • Mean time to communicate, triage, remediate, and disclose product vulnerabilities. • Effectiveness of cross-functional coordination during security incidents. • Improved clarity, predictability, and visibility of product security risk at the executive level.
