Job description

You will operate vulnerability scanning infrastructure, analyze results, drive service teams to remediation, and ensure our environments maintain compliance with DISA STIGs and the Risk Management Framework (RMF).

You will run and analyze Tenable/Nessus scans, track vulnerabilities to closure, develop automation to streamline compliance workflows, build and maintain security dashboards, support our comply-to-connect solution, and contribute to security accreditation packages for services within RSCI.

  • Assess environments against DISA STIGs for Windows 11, Windows Server, Microsoft Exchange, and Skype for Business; identify and track compliance gaps
  • Build and maintain security compliance dashboards providing real-time visibility into host health, patch status, and SLA compliance
  • Produce scan data and compliance artifacts for ingestion by AWS security teams and external customer authorization systems
  • Conduct threat assessments against RMNA infrastructure including Ansible automation workflows
  • Contribute to and maintain security accreditation packages (RMF A&A documentation) for RMNA
  • Develop Ansible playbooks and PowerShell automation to streamline compliance scanning, reporting, and remediation tracking
  • Partner with A&A to review and validate scan data prior to customer delivery
  • Create and maintain runbooks, compliance procedures, and standard operating procedures
  • Participate in on-call rotation for security and compliance events
  • Participate in weekly operations meetings reviewing Tenable dashboards and SLA compliance with service managers

Requirements

  • Associate’s degree or above, or Cloud+ or GICSP (Global Industrial Cyber Security Professional) or GSEC (GIAC Security Essentials) or SSCP (Systems Security Certified Practitioner)
  • Knowledge of configuration management systems, such as Puppet, Chef, Ansible, or related systems
  • 3+ years of systems administration (Linux or Windows) experience
