The CSS PET SRE function has evolved from a traditional production support capability into a strategic Site Reliability Engineering function responsible for ensuring operational resilience across multiple cyber security platforms supporting the Bank’s critical security controls. The portfolio now spans EESP, VMIS and ASA, with significant expansion planned over the next 12–24 months through new platform onboarding, strategic transformation programmes, and ownership transitions from delivery teams into PET SRE.
