• Help with the identification and evaluation of security gaps, and translate them into functional specifications to implement.
• Cybersecurity related duties as assigned/required to support specialized activities.

• Integrate and manage CASB solutions to provide visibility and control over data and applications in the cloud.
• Deploy and manage WAF solutions to safeguard web applications against threats and vulnerabilities.
• Maintain a current understanding of the security threat landscape. Research and review new technologies and trends.

What you will bring to the team:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Information Assurance, Cyber Security, or related field of study.
• CISSP, Security+, or other Cybersecurity Industry recognized certification.
• Experience with security operations systems: MDM, DLP, Firewalls, CASB, Log collectors, SIEM/SOC, EDR, VPN.
• 7+ years of experience in security operations.

• Solid understanding of Incident response process and procedures including in the cloud.
• Experience using a vulnerability management tool (Qualys, Tenable, etc) to scan, manage and prioritize vulnerabilities.
• Professional demeanor, good interpersonal skills, and ability to excel in a high-paced multi-tasked environment.
• Knowledge of AWS, Azure, cloud infrastructure and IT infrastructures.
• Able to automate/script daily tasks using Python, Bash or equivalent.
