    Maintain a risk register covering all types of planned and unplanned downtime arising from technology, e.g. due to mergers and acquisitions, Cloud migration, maintenance and upgrades, cyber attacks incl. ransomware, failed changes, and system failures
    Provide training, advice and support to business unit CTOs, the Head of Service Operations and the Head of Cloud Engineering to develop their own resilience and recovery plans where these aren't supported by centrally maintained scenarios, e.g. including the recovery of SaaS applications deployed in the business
