Official Details
SBI CISO specialist officer 2026 is “Engagement of Specialist Cadre Officer on contractual basis – Group CISO”, Advt CRPD/SCO/2026-27/21. Apply 4–24 September 2026 at recruitment.sbi.bank.in/crpd-sco-2026-27-21/apply. List: sbi.bank.in/web/careers/current-openings.
What SBI actually does here
Group CISO is the bank’s information-security leadership stream — policy, incident response, vendor risk, cyber operations. It is not the wealth-RM desk and it is not a campus internship.
What kind of role this is
Contract specialist. You need the security years the PDF prints. Location is whatever the bank allots for that CISO group.
Who should apply — and who should skip
Apply if your last few years are information security, and /21 lists your certification or degree combination.
Skip if you only have a B.Tech and a TryHackMe streak. Skip if you already filed Wealth Advt 23 — that does not cover CISO. Skip Telegram PDFs that merge /15, /21 and /23 into one Google Form.
