  • Evaluate, deploy, and manage security tools and technologies such as firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), endpoint security solutions, security information and event management (SIEM) systems, and vulnerability management tools.
  • Stay abreast of new security technologies and trends to enhance the agency’s security posture.
  • Stay informed about the latest cybersecurity threats, trends, and best practices through ongoing training, certifications, and participation in industry conferences and forums. 
  • Continuously assess and improve the agency’s cybersecurity posture based on evolving threats and emerging technologies.
  • Maintain a current working knowledge of IT development methodology, architecture design, security best practices, and technical standards.
  • Communicate with other technical leads, IT groups, and customer reps so they understand all aspects of proposed changes/solutions.
  • Manage multiple assignments and work independently with minimal oversight.

  • Experience installing, configuring, and maintaining tools such as Tanium, Nessus, Forescout, and Cyberark in a hybrid-cloud environment
  • Knowledge and understanding of the potential impacts associated with security features on network devices to minimize impacts to operational systems.
  • Experience using common vulnerability scanning tools (e.g., Nessus) to discover weaknesses.
