Experience using Splunk or similar security information and event management (SIEM) tools to support security auditing, log analysis, continuous monitoring, and identification of potential security events. Excellent communication and coordination skills across functional teams. Ability to assess, document, and mitigate cybersecurity risks in complex environments. U.S. Citizenship and active Top Secret/SCI clearance.

Required Experience

Experience supporting Special Access Program (SAP) information systems, including working knowledge of the Joint Special Access Program Implementation Guide (JSIG), Revision 4, and its application to system authorization and cybersecurity compliance.
