• Document and update as necessary all definition and architecture activities.
• Integrate results regarding the identification of gaps in security architecture.
• Plan implementation strategy to ensure that enterprise components can be integrated and aligned.
• Translate proposed capabilities into technical requirements.
• Document how the implementation of a new system or new interface between systems impacts the current and target environment including but not limited to security posture.
• Integrate key management functions related to cyberspace.

Abilities

• Skill in applying and incorporating information technologies into proposed solutions.
• Skill in designing the integration of hardware and software solutions.
• Skill in determining how a security system should work (including its resilience and dependability capabilities) and how changes in conditions, operations, or the environment will affect these outcomes.
• Skill in design modeling and building use cases (e.g., unified modeling language).
• Skill in writing code in a currently supported programming language (e.g., Java, C++).
• Skill in the use of design methods.
• Skill to apply cybersecurity and privacy principles to organizational requirements (relevant to confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, non‑repudiation).
