What You Will Do:

The following duties and responsibilities include performing hands-on vulnerability scanning and management, patching systems, designing mitigation strategies, and authoring vulnerability-related products (including program doctrine, analysis reports, and other documents required as part of a formal VM program). Specific responsibilities shall include, but are not limited to, the following:


  • Author / amend the Board’s VM Program document to serve as the primary tool for designing the ideal VM program for the Information Security Branch.
  • Support the implementation of a formal VM program with a variety of product types (e.g., program documents, policy documents, mitigation strategies, analysis reports, standard operating procedures).
  • Support the expansion of the VM program to include endpoints, mobile devices, cloud infrastructure, and more.
  • Research new vulnerability capabilities and recommend solutions that can be employed within the Board’s infrastructure.
  • Support the deployment of new capabilities.
  • Adapt the Board’s VM program as needed to support the implementation of a zero-trust architecture.
  • Build dashboards, metrics, and reports that convey the health and stability of the VM program.
  • Generate reports to measure the Board’s progress in meeting vulnerability remediation targets.


What You Will Need:

  • US Citizen Requirement

  • Experience with one or more security technologies, including vulnerability scanners and SIEM solutions: including specific systems Tenable, Nessus, Invicti, Splunk, and other vulnerability management solutions (e.g., enterprise patch management).
  • Experience managing vulnerabilities in both on-premises systems and in cloud environments, (e.g. Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Data Centers).
  • Familiarity with relevant industry standards and regulations. This should include specific requirements of federal government institutions and general best practices for a quality vulnerability management program.
  • Experience identifying and developing mitigation strategies. This includes designing mitigations that specifically address vulnerabilities, working with system owners to patch systems, and identifying adequate solutions to remediate vulnerabilities where patching is not possible.
  • Experience analyzing data and identifying vulnerabilities. This extends beyond running a scan and identifying vulnerabilities found by the system. This includes analyzing systems, network configurations, web applications, and architectural diagrams, as well as identifying top vulnerabilities such as those listed in the OWASP “Top Ten” and understanding how those vulnerabilities work at the programmatic level.
  • Experience with workflows, forms, and other enabling technologies that may be needed to operationalize the vulnerability management program.
  • Experience supporting the implementation of a Zero Trust Architecture.
  • Experience building dashboards, metrics, and reports that convey the health and stability of a vulnerability management program.
