Maintain knowledge of applicable cyber defense policies, regulations, and compliance documents specifically related to cyber defense auditing. Perform technical and non-technical (i.e., people and operations) risk and vulnerability assessments of relevant technology focus areas (e.g., local computing environment, network and infrastructure, enclave boundary, supporting infrastructure, and applications). Correlate incident data to identify specific vulnerabilities and make recommendations that enable remediation. Create and employ methodologies, templates, guidelines, checklists, procedures, and other documents to establish repeatable processes across the circuit’s information technology security services.
