• Strong foundational understanding of:
• TCP/IP networking, OSI model, and secure network design principles
• Identity and Access Management (IAM) concepts, Active Directory, LDAP, MFA
• Vulnerability management processes and interpreting scan results (e.g., ProxyLogon, Log4Shell familiarity)
• Risk management principles (threats, vulnerabilities, risk scoring)
• Core Incident Response (including evidence handling and chain of custody fundamentals)
• Security frameworks (NIST CSF, NIST RMF) and basic compliance awareness
• Scripting ability (PowerShell or Python) for task automation or data analysis.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills — must be able to create documentation, incident reports, and articulate risks to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
