DNS providers, cloud platforms, data centres and CDNs are the backbone of the digital economy. An attack here impacts hundreds of organisations simultaneously.
cite AI vulnerabilities as the fastest growing risk; cloud & digital infrastructure are the primary attack surface
Cybersecurity in digital infrastructure is about protecting DNS providers, cloud platforms, data centres and CDNs, the backbone of the digital economy. An attack on this layer hits hundreds of organisations at once. Digital infrastructure is listed in NIS2 Annex I, implemented in the Netherlands through the Cyberbeveiligingswet (Cbw), and the GDPR and contractual customer requirements apply as well. The main threats are AI-powered exploits on cloud platforms, DDoS attacks on DNS and CDN infrastructure, insider threats in data centre environments and the future threat of quantum computing to current cryptography. Digital infrastructure providers therefore mainly hire cloud security architects for AWS, Azure and GCP, Zero Trust implementation specialists, AI and LLM security consultants and penetration testers and red team leads who test platform resilience in a demonstrable way.

Yes, digital infrastructure such as DNS services, cloud computing, data centres and CDNs is listed in NIS2 Annex I. In the Netherlands this means these providers fall under the Cyberbeveiligingswet (Cbw), which has applied since 15 August 2026. They have a duty of care, a duty to report significant incidents and must register with the NCSC. Because one attack hits many customers at once, customers and supervisors scrutinise these providers closely.
A cloud provider mainly needs cloud security architects with experience in AWS, Azure or GCP, supported by Zero Trust implementation specialists. AI integrations are driving demand for AI and LLM security consultants. Penetration testers and red team leads check whether the controls work in practice. Together they protect against AI-powered exploits, DDoS attacks and insider threats.
MVPeople Group responds to every request within 4 hours and delivers introduction CVs for interim roles within 24 hours, often with a first profile within 4 hours. Candidates come from a network of more than 7,000 pre-screened cybersecurity professionals across 25 disciplines, including cloud security, red teaming and AI security. That makes it possible to scale up quickly during a migration, audit or incident.
Interim fits project work, such as a Zero Trust implementation, a penetration test or red team exercise, or preparing for a NIS2 audit. Permanent hiring fits core architecture and operations roles that carry platform security every day. A combination is common: interim expertise for peaks, permanent staff for continuity. Through MVPermanent you receive CVs within 72 hours, and hiring typically takes 2 to 4 weeks.
