Job summary

Cognizant in Hyderabad is seeking a GeoSpatial Engineer MAP to secure and optimize endpoint environments that support geospatial data platforms across a multinational organization. The engineer will design, implement and operate advanced defense and endpoint security solutions in a hybrid work model to protect spatial data and critical systems.

The role collaborates with cross functional teams to ensure secure deployment practices, runbooks and SOPs, and aligns endpoint controls with

Qualifications

• Demonstrate strong hands on experience with Microsoft Defender ATP including configuration policy management threat analytics and investigation capabilities gained over at least five years in endpoint security roles.
• Exhibit proven expertise in endpoint implementation covering deployment planning configuration baselines agent rollout and integration with existing infrastructure components in medium to large enterprise settings.
• Show solid experience in endpoint operation through routine monitoring incident handling health checks and lifecycle management activities that maintain reliable secure environments for technical user communities.
• Apply sound understanding of operating systems commonly used for geospatial workstations and servers alongside familiarity with geospatial data workflows so endpoint controls support mapping and analysis performance.

Responsibilities

• Design comprehensive endpoint security architectures that safeguard geospatial platforms and data assets by applying deep expertise in Microsoft Defender ATP and aligned endpoint protection capabilities
• Implement robust endpoint security configurations across mapping workstations servers and field devices to ensure stable performance for geospatial applications and spatial data processing workflows
• Monitor endpoint environments proactively using Microsoft Defender ATP to identify anomalies malware and suspicious user activity that could compromise geospatial systems or sensitive location data
• Coordinate incident response activities for endpoint security events by investigating alerts triaging risks and applying remediation steps that minimize disruption to map production and spatial analysis operations
• Optimize Microsoft Defender ATP policies and rules by reviewing telemetry and security trends ensuring that protection levels remain strong while enabling efficient use of geospatial tools and software stacks
• Develop and maintain operational runbooks and standard operating procedures for endpoint security operations that clearly describe detection response and recovery steps tailored to geospatial engineering contexts
• Collaborate with infrastructure network and geospatial application teams to align endpoint security controls with system performance requirements licensing constraints and data governance standards across the organization
• Conduct periodic security posture assessments of endpoint fleets used for mapping analytics and data visualization and recommend enhancements that improve resilience against evolving cyber threats
• Provide guidance to project teams on secure deployment practices for new geospatial solutions including endpoint hardening secure configuration baselines and integration with Microsoft Defender ATP capabilities
• Perform root cause analysis for recurring endpoint security issues by reviewing historical events configuration changes and user behavior to define sustainable corrective actions for geospatial environments
• Create clear documentation and user facing guidance that explains secure usage of endpoints geospatial tools and data access mechanisms thereby supporting safer day to day operations for colleagues
• Coordinate with compliance and risk stakeholders to ensure endpoint security operations remain aligned with regulatory requirements privacy expectations and internal security policies related to spatial information
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives that refine endpoint monitoring automation reporting and threat detection so that geospatial engineering outcomes remain dependable and support broader organizational objectives
