• Secure Network Architecture: Design and implement secure network architectures, segmenting critical data and systems from less sensitive resources to minimize attack surfaces and potential impact.
• Security Incident Investigation: Lead investigations into security breaches, identifying the root cause and recommending preventive measures to enhance security posture.
• Data Protection and Privacy: Implement data protection measures, encryption techniques, and privacy controls to safeguard sensitive data and comply with relevant data protection regulations.

Required:

• BA/BS + 5 years relevant experience (additional 5+ years of recent relevant experience may be substituted for degree, for total of 10+ years of experience)
• Proven experience as a Security Engineer or in a similar role, with expertise in information security practices and technologies.
• Active Secret Clearance
• Strong knowledge of network security, operating systems, databases, and application security principles.
• Familiarity with industry security standards and frameworks such as NIST or DoD Controls
• Experience with vulnerability scanning and penetration testing tools.
• Ability to analyze security incidents, perform root cause analysis, and propose effective solutions.
• Knowledge of encryption technologies, access controls, and identity and access management (IAM) principles.
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Required DoD 8140 compliant certification such as CompTIA Security+
• Other relevant cybersecurity certifications like Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), or Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), are a plus.
