Job Description

Job Location: Virginia(Hybrid)

Job Description:

For this position we are really looking for someone who is
strong in Security Operations (Vulnerability Management, Penetration Testing,
Incident Response, Identity Access Management, etc.). A few of the candidates
were strong in Risk Management (Risk Assessment, Data Classification, Audits,
etc.) but we already have those skills on our team. The remaining candidates
mostly struggled to answer basic technical questions relating to security and
seemed to mostly come from more IT Operations backgrounds. We are looking for
an experienced person as this is not an entry level opening.

  1. Experience with vulnerability management is key for
    this position.
  2. Experience with application penetration is key for this
    position.
  3. Experience with Dev SecOps/Secure Software Development
    Lifecycle (Secure SDLC/SSDLC)/Secure by Design is key for this position.
  4. Scripting and automation experience is highly desired
    for this position.
  5. Interpersonal skills and being able to talk with and
    manage stakeholders are key for this position. 

Analyze the security impact of application, configuration, and
infrastructure changes to ensure compliance with the security standard as part
of the change management lifecycle.

·Assess the configurations of applications, servers, and network
devices for compliance with the security standard.

·Analyze and document how the implementation of new system or
new interfaces between systems impacts the security posture of the current
environment.

·Assess and document the security impact and risks of newly
discovered vulnerabilities in the environment.

·Coordinate resolution of application and infrastructure
security vulnerabilities with System Owners, IT, and vendors. Track resolution
of vulnerabilities and provide regular updates to management.

·Coordinate resolution of endpoint security vulnerabilities with
users and provide regular updates to management.

  • Respond to, and investigate, security incidents and
    provide thorough post-event analyses.
  • Perform internal application penetration testing, document
    findings, and recommend improvements to improve the organization’s
    security posture.
  • Complete annual password security audits and coordinate
    completion of agency wide user access audits in compliance with the
    security standard.
  • Determine the protection needs (i.e., security
    controls) for the information system(s) and network(s) and
    document appropriately.
  • Create and maintain desk procedures and process
    documentation for all responsibilities.
