Their risk approach is proactive, emphasizing a 'culture of proactive threat modelling across all teams'.

Security Team

Reckitt's Application Security function is led by a 'Director, Security Architecture and Product Security' who sits within the 'Cyber Leadership Team'.
This leader is responsible for building and scaling a team composed of 'Security Architects and Software Security Specialists'.
