- Documentation: Maintain accurate and up-to-date documentation of vulnerability findings, remediation steps, and incident investigations.
- Security Tool Support: Assist in the monitoring and maintenance of security tools, including vulnerability scanners and SIEM (Sentinel) systems.
- Continuous Learning: Stay current with the latest security threats, vulnerabilities, and industry best practices.
- Collaboration: Work closely with other members of the InfoSec team, as well as IT and development teams, to ensure a coordinated security response.
Requirements:
- Computer Science or Data Security related degree or 1-2 years of equivalent experience.
- Basic understanding of common vulnerabilities and attack vectors (e.g., OWASP Top 10, SANS Top 25).
- Familiarity with vulnerability scanning tools (e.g., Arctic Wolf, Nessus, Qualys, Security Scorecard, Microsoft Defender, NMap, BurpSuite).
- Experience with Jira or other ticketing systems.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication (written and verbal) and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- Passion for cybersecurity and a desire to learn and grow in the field.
Preferred:
- Security certifications (e.g., CompTIA Security+, CySA+, CEH) or relevant experience.
