Why Digital Realty

Redefining best practices -- this is a big role on a small team, and you will help bring a fresh approach to information security strategy. We are open to your good ideas and nimble in structuring IS practices . . . and we have the resources of a leading global corporation to help bring those ideas to life.

Professional development -- you'll work with a variety of technologies, learning those you don't already know and deepening your knowledge of those you already have in your toolkit. For example, this role may provide your first exposure to SCADA. In addition, the integration of Telx will provide multiple opportunities to learn new processes. We are committed to being a high performing team, and we'll provide the resources and tools you need to take your skills and knowledge to the next level.

Strategic, creative focus -- everyone on the team rolls up their sleeves and pitches in where necessary, and the team probably will grow. However, our plan is to keep the internal team relatively small. We'll outsource a lot of the work, leaving the internal team free to take on the intriguing challenges and focus on delivering value to the business.

The “best of both worlds” -- you'll find that working for our company may be a little bit different. We are small enough, with only 800 employees across our global portfolio, that your hard work will be visible throughout the organization. At the same time, our extensive offering of services and solutions and proven track record of growth, stability and industry-leading innovation mean that there will be opportunities for strong performers to advance.

Unique culture -- we are a collaborative, people-focused company dedicated to quality and continuous improvement. When you become a member of our team, you receive our commitment to your continued development and support.

Strong foundation -- our financial strength and stability provide our customers with the assurance that Digital Realty will be their partner for current data center needs and those in the future, and our investment credit ratings provide us access to paths for more capital. We view each of our customers as a long-term partner.

Green standard for sustainability -- we are committed to improving the performance and energy efficiency of our data centers through the creation, adoption and promotion of industry-leading best data center practices and experience. We are pioneers in thinking about green data centers and are also a Contributing Member of The Green Grid.

Picture: From Dublin (top) to Singapore (bottom), Digital Realty is about removing limits to global business. Through our seamless, interconnected global network we offer more open data center service choices than anyone, including choices around vendors, service partners, network carriers, configurations and locations. The challenge, from a security standpoint, is to ensure that our data centers are performance gear, not straitjackets, bringing greater productivity and agility while still safeguarding valuable data.

Keys to Success

To excel in this role you will have a knack for learning new technologies and processes quickly -- not only when you come on board, but also on an ongoing basis. You should be proactive about getting up to speed and then staying abreast of emerging IS technologies, threats and best practices. For example, we'll expect that you bring solid infrastructure background, but you also will need to become familiar with our applications so that you can identify potential threats.

We'll also look to you to promote information security as a value-add, helping others understand how security helps achieve business goals. This will require a combination of technical expertise and interpersonal skills to establish your credibility, develop relationships with key stakeholders, and influence and motivate others.

In addition, in order to be an outstanding Senior Security Architect, you will:
  • Combine a strategic mindset with a hands-on, results oriented approach
  • Demonstrate initiative, accountability, and the ability to achieve goals independently
  • Adjust your communication style as necessary, such as translating highly technical information into intelligence that non-technical people can understand and use
  • Pay close attention to details while also grasping the big picture and how the details fit into it
  • Remain flexible and adaptable as priorities change in a fast-paced environment
  • Keep a constant eye out for ways to improve efficiencies and processes
