• Recommend practical technical controls such as multi-factor authentication, encryption, secure network zoning, access controls, and other security mechanisms.
• Support vulnerability remediation and development of technically sound mitigation strategies that reduce attack surface while maintaining mission capability.
• Provide technical recommendations to ISSMs/ISSOs and clearly communicate architectural risks and mitigation alternatives to Government stakeholders.

• Strong consulting, communication, and presentation skills.
