  • Perform ongoing security configuration reviews and control validation.
• Vulnerability & Risk Management
  • Conduct vulnerability assessments and security reviews.
  • Prioritize and remediate security risks across servers, endpoints, and applications.
  • Identify gaps in security controls and implement improvements.
  • Support disaster recovery, business continuity, and change management initiatives.

• 5+ years of cybersecurity, security engineering, or security operations experience.
• Experience administering and securing Windows and/or Linux environments.
