The USG's capability could have thousands of credential checks per minute depending on how pervasively the system services check for permissions, so the CMS may have multiple tiers of credential strength or permissioned surface exposure, e.g., prevent lose due to typos, accidental spills, authority escalation, and intrusion, etc. Skills and Experience: * Attribute-based access control (ABAC) * Host-based access control (HBAC) * Role-based (RBAC) * Credentials/Secrets management and automation * Data protection * Enterprise security software solutions, such as Delinea Server Suite, Centrify, Red Hat SSO (Keycloak), Red Hat IDM (FreeIPA Server), HashiCorp Vault * Linux server authentication, such as NSS, PAM, SSSD * Cloud-based authentication * Authentication protocols, such as OIDC, LDAP Broadly applicable Skills and Experience * Scripting languages, such as Bash, Python * Programming languages, such as C, C++, Rust, and Assembly-level * Automation languages, such as Ansible, YAML, JSON * Automation frameworks, such as AAP, SaltStack, Puppet, Chef, Terraform, etc. * Version-control systems, such as Git and GitLab * Linux operating systems * DevOps * CI/CD * Atlassian Confluence and Jira Educational Experience: Bachelor's degree in Math, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline from an accredited college or university, plus six (6) years of experience as an HSE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity. OR Master's degree in Math, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline from an accredited college or university, plus five (5) years of experience as an HSE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity. OR Nine (9) years of experience as an HSE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity. ## Description The Security Architecture defines components, interfaces, and relationships among software and hardware that establish trust, identity, authentication, and authorization. The architecture will also include processes and tests. The complexity of this product stems from the diversity and distribution of "clients" and "interests" and no one commercial product can provide all the USG's security needs. ## Related Videos - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [What makes Cybersecurity different for critical infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/571-what-makes-cybersecurity-different-for-critical-infrastructure) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) ## Related Articles - [Top 6 Hackathons for Developers in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/263-top-6-hackathons-for-developers-in-2023) - [9 Ways to Make Money Hacking](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/333-9-ways-to-make-money-hacking) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Best Paying Jobs in Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/256-best-paying-jobs-in-technology)
