Accordingly, this is a great opportunity for you to develop yourself in a growing IT Security team and get to work with new technologies such as Microsoft 365 E5 Security products, Microsoft Sentinel SIEM, Palo Alto Next Gen firewalls and Vectra AI NDR.

“The strategic focus on and increasing investments in IT security makes this a great career opportunity. You will get to work with some of the newest – and in my opinion – most exciting security technologies. And being first line of defense, you and your colleagues play such a significant role in protecting Arla against cyber-attacks.” – Head of IT Security Services, Poul Henrik Tang Jensen.
