Cyber Defense Analyst - GRC

No AI mention Merrillville

Summary

Cyber defense seat at a regional bank, weighted toward governance, risk and compliance rather than pure operations: cybersecurity risk assessments, periodic testing and validation of security controls, tracking findings, vulnerabilities, risk exceptions and remediation to completion, and maintaining security policies, standards and control documentation. The same person supports internal and external audits, regulatory examinations and compliance reviews by gathering evidence, and validates vendor compliance reports as part of third-party risk management. Day-to-day cyber defense work is also in scope, including security monitoring, alert review, vulnerability management and incident response, working across IAM, information security, enterprise IT, risk, compliance and internal audit.

About this page

Every posting is classified into one of three AI buckets: AI required when the description names specific AI tools as required skills (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) or names LLM/agent/RAG/embeddings as core to the day-to-day; AI mentioned when the description mentions AI tooling in passing without it being the core skill; No AI mention when the description contains none of the relevant keywords. Each row shows the matched keyword evidence inline and surfaces named AI developer-productivity tools as expanded-row chips, so you can judge the signal for yourself.

The geographic filter is opinionated, and here it is five counties: the Lake–Porter–Jasper metropolitan division (which still includes Newton, despite the 2023 rename dropping it from the name) plus the Michigan City–La Porte MSA next door. Unlike every other board on this site, the core county does not collapse to one label. Merrillville is the anchor because the headquarters are there — NiSource and NIPSCO, Centier Bank, White Lodging, MonoSol — but Hammond and Gary are both larger cities, so filing their postings under “Merrillville” would be a lie the map would then repeat. Every municipality outside Merrillville carries its own city label, its own county, and its own pin: Hammond, Gary, East Chicago, Whiting, Munster, Highland, Griffith, Crown Point, Hobart, Schererville, St. John, Dyer and the rest of Lake County; Portage, Valparaiso, Chesterton, Burns Harbor and Hebron in Porter; Michigan City, La Porte, Westville and Long Beach in LaPorte; and Rensselaer, DeMotte, Morocco and Kentland in the rural south. The board stops at the Illinois line, and for many people here that is the wrong side of the commute — a large share of the Region works in Cook and Will counties. It stays out anyway: admitting Illinois to the filter would let every “Chicago, IL” posting in the corpus through, and Region employers post their Region roles with Region cities, which is what this board shows. Berrien County, Michigan and St. Joseph County (South Bend’s own board) are out for the same reason of not claiming a neighbor’s shed. Remote postings are included only when the employer also has an office, plant or campus somewhere in the five counties — otherwise anywhere-in-the-US remote noise would swamp the page. Use the Location filter to narrow to a specific city.

This page is an independent aggregation. Mungomash is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of the employers listed. Application-status tracking and email alerts are out of scope. Per-posting salary ranges are surfaced inline when the employer discloses one — structured ATS fields first, JD-body prose as a fallback; rows with no disclosed range render no chip.

Meetups, user groups, and tech events

Recurring

RegionSec

recurring beginner-friendly

Two standing meetups a month: 3rd Friday 12:00-2:00 PM CT (lunch) and 1st Saturday 11:00 AM-1:00 PM CT (brunch) · in-person · Catch Table & Tap, Merrillville

security networking

Northwest Indiana's cybersecurity community, run by a Chesterton-based security engineering director who founded it to give Region practitioners somewhere to meet without driving to Chicago. Two standing get-togethers a month at a Merrillville restaurant on US-30 -- a third-Friday lunch and a first-Saturday brunch -- open to working security people and to students and career-changers trying to break in; you buy your own meal. A public Discord carries the conversation between meetups, and the group puts on the RegionSec Summit at Purdue Northwest each October.

1 Million Cups Northwest Indiana

recurring beginner-friendly

2nd and 4th Wednesdays monthly, 8:30-10:00 AM CT (doors and coffee 8:30, two presenters 9:00-10:00) · in-person · Purdue Technology Center of Northwest Indiana (Indiana SBDC Northwest office), Crown Point

startups networking

The Region's chapter of the Kauffman Foundation's national founder meetup: free coffee at 8:30 on the second and fourth Wednesday, then two local early-stage founders each give a six-minute pitch and take twenty minutes of audience questions, with open coworking afterward. The venue rotates among the Region's entrepreneur hubs -- the Purdue Technology Center in Crown Point (which houses the SBDC office that organizes it), Purdue Northwest's CMEC in Hammond, and Lower Lincoln in downtown Valparaiso. Not a developer meetup, but it is the one standing room where Northwest Indiana's startup founders, SBDC advisors and would-be cofounders are in the same place on a weekday morning.

Organizers: Northwest Indiana Small Business Development Center (ISBDC), Purdue Northwest Commercialization and Manufacturing Excellence Center (CMEC)

Vidette Makes - Makers' Monthly Meetup

recurring beginner-friendly

4th Thursday monthly, 6:00 PM CT, then drinks at a nearby business · in-person · McMillan Hall, Valparaiso

hardware iot networking

Northwest Indiana's maker community, a Valparaiso 501(c)(3) working toward opening a physical makerspace. The monthly meetup is an informal talk night: a member or guest presents on something they build -- electronics, 3D printing, code, woodworking, sound -- and the group moves to a bar afterward. Explicitly open to anyone curious rather than to credentialed makers; the Meetup page's topic tags lean security and programming, there is an active Slack, and at 569 members it is the largest tech-adjacent group in the Region.

Organizers: Steve and six co-organizers (Vidette Makes leadership team)

The HUB NWI - Code & Connect

recurring beginner-friendly

Irregular; Code & Connect ran on Thursday evenings (6:00-6:30 PM CT start) in late 2025 and January 2026 · in-person · The HUB NWI (restored former church), Hebron

hardware design gamedev networking

A nonprofit art-and-technology makerspace in a restored church in Hebron, south of Valparaiso -- 3D printers, laser and vinyl cutters, electronics and a recording setup alongside the kiln and woodshop. Its Meetup group ran a small Code & Connect evening for developers and digital artists through January 2026, and family game nights before that. The space itself is active, but no coding meetup has been listed since.

RegionSec Summit

annual beginner-friendly

Annual, a weekday evening in October (Cybersecurity Awareness Month), 5:00-8:00 PM CT · in-person · Donald S. Powers Computer Education Building, Purdue University Northwest - Hammond Campus, Hammond

security iot networking

A one-evening cybersecurity summit at Purdue Northwest's Hammond campus: two tracks of 40-minute talks from working incident responders and CISOs (the 2025 speakers came from Palo Alto Networks Unit 42, Rapid7, UChicago Medicine and PatientPoint), a beginner-friendly capture-the-flag on password cracking, OSINT and forensics, an IoT security village, a student-resources table with resume and LinkedIn help, and an ask-me-anything closing panel. Tickets were $10 for professionals and $5 for students in 2025. Built explicitly for people trying to get into the field as much as for those already in it.
