• Investigate vulnerability findings and distinguish true positives from false positives through technical validation and analysis.
• Troubleshoot scan failures, credential issues, connectivity problems, and incomplete or inaccurate vulnerability results.
• Validate vulnerability remediation through follow-up scanning, configuration review, or other appropriate technical verification methods.
• Work with system owners, engineers, administrators, and other stakeholders to communicate vulnerability findings and coordinate remediation activities.
• Track vulnerabilities through the remediation lifecycle and ensure findings are addressed within established remediation timelines and service-level agreements.
• Develop and maintain vulnerability management reports, dashboards, metrics, and remediation status reports for technical teams and leadership.
• Support the management of vulnerability exceptions, risk acceptances, compensating controls, and remediation extensions in accordance with organizational policies.
• Correlate vulnerability findings with asset inventory, system ownership, configuration information, and security controls to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of remediation efforts.
• Apply vulnerability scoring and prioritization methodologies, including CVSS, CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV), vendor advisories, and threat intelligence, to support risk-based remediation decisions.
• Assess vulnerabilities and security configurations on Linux systems, including troubleshooting authenticated scans and supporting remediation activities.
• Support compliance and security assessment activities involving STIGs, DoD security requirements, vulnerability remediation requirements, and security baselines.
