The first is the day-to-day operations of the in-place security solutions while the second is the identification, investigation, and resolution of security breaches detected by those systems. Secondary tasks may include involvement in the implementation of new security solutions, participation in the creation and or maintenance of policies, standards, baselines, guidelines, and procedures as well as conducting vulnerability audits and assessments. The IT Security Engineer is expected to be fully aware of the enterprise's security goals as established by its stated policies, procedures, and guidelines and to actively work towards upholding those goals. More specifically, this position will be responsible for activities including but not limited to the following: Acquisition & Deployment 10% * Maintain up-to-date detailed knowledge of the IT security industry including awareness of new or revised security solutions, improved security processes, and the development of new attacks and threat vectors. * Participate in the creation of enterprise security documents (policies, standards, baselines, guidelines, and procedures) under the direction of the IT Security Manager, where appropriate. * Perform the deployment, integration, and initial configuration of all new security solutions and of any enhancements to existing security solutions in accordance with standard best operating procedures generically and the enterprise's security documents specifically. Operational Management 30% * Maintain up-to-date baselines for the secure configuration and operations of all in-place devices, whether they be under direct control (i.e. security tools) or not (e.g. workstations, servers, network devices). * Maintain operational configurations of all in-place security solutions as per the established baselines. * Monitor all in-place security solutions for efficient and appropriate operations. * Review logs and reports of all in-place devices, whether they be under direct control (i.e. security tools) or not (e.g. workstations, servers, network devices). Interpret the implications of that activity and devise plans for appropriate resolution. * Participate in investigations into problematic activity. * Participate in the design and execution of vulnerability assessments, penetration tests, and security audits. * Ensuring that DexKo is up-to-date with the latest security standards, patches, network protocols, and products * Support cybersecurity review of vendors, integrations, SaaS platforms, and managed service providers. * Ability to project manage the deployment of complex security technologies * Research security architecture, security technologies, and security solutions * Coordinate with infrastructure, service desk, legal, privacy, HR, and business teams during security incidents. * Identify areas where controls are lacking or inadequate * Participate in incident response activities including triage, containment, eradication, recovery, root-cause analysis, and post-incident improvement. Cybersecurity AI and Emerging Technology 60% * Design, build, and maintain security automation workflows to improve detection, response, vulnerability management, user access reviews, and compliance evidence collection. * Develop scripts, playbooks, integrations and automated workflows using tools such as PowerShell, Python, APIs, SOAR platforms, SIEM automation, Microsoft Graph, and ITSM platforms. * Automate repetitive security operations tasks including alert enrichment, case creation, containment actions, reporting, control validation, and exception tracking * Maintain documentation, version control, testing and change management for security automation workflows. * Measure automation effectiveness through reduced response time, reduced manual effort, improved control coverage, and fewer recurring issues. * Evaluate, implement and govern cybersecurity use cases for AI, machine learning, and automation technologies. * Support security monitoring of AI platforms, including user activity, data loss prevention, prompt/data exposure risk, and unsanctioned AI usage. * Use AI-enabled security tools to improve threat detection, incident triage, vulnerability prioritization, security awareness, and reporting. * Partner with Legal, Privacy, Compliance, and IT teams to ensure AI security controls align with data protection, acceptable use, regulatory, and business requirements. ## Related Videos - [Cyber Sleuth: Finding Hidden Connections in Cyber Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/893-cyber-sleuth-finding-hidden-connections-in-cyber-data) - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [This App Reached 10,000 Users in One Week.
