IA & SS - Master

Information Assurance and Security Specialist - Master The Security Engineer role will focus on designing and developing security architecture patterns that meet regulatory obligations and data protection requirements as well as align with the business and corporate security strategy. The Security Engineer will work collaboratively with security engineers to build security controls and solutions compliant with approved architecture frameworks and standards. Strategy and Planning Perform security assessments, identify gaps in existing security architecture, and recommend changes or improvements. Design security architecture elements to mitigate threats. Create solutions that align enterprise security architecture frameworks and standards (e.g. SABSA, NIST 800-53, ISO 27002) with overall business and security strategy. Participate in risk assessments for new technologies and projects. Employ secure configuration management processes. Assist in developing a disaster recovery and business continuity plan. Identify and prioritize system functions required to promote continuity and availability of critical business processes such that in the circumstance of system failure critical business functions are restored or recovered promptly. Communication Document security requirements and controls for protecting information, systems, and technology assets. Define and document how the implementation of a new technology impacts the security posture of the current environment. Document and update as necessary all definition and architecture activities. Provide input on security requirements to be included in request for proposals (RFPs), statements of work (SOWs), and other procurement documents. Communicate current and emerging security threats to project team members.
