Evaluate current security tooling and recommend improvements to coverage, configuration, monitoring, and integration. Support secure architecture decisions for new systems, applications, infrastructure changes, and business initiatives. Identity, Access, and Privilege Management Strengthen identity security, including MFA, conditional access, SSO, privileged access, service accounts, and account lifecycle controls. Help reduce excessive capabilities and improve least-privilege access across critical systems. Partner with IT to improve privileged account management, administrative access, and remote access practices. Endpoint, Vulnerability, and Threat Reduction Improve endpoint security coverage, hardening, detection, and response capabilities. Own or support vulnerability management processes, including scanning, prioritization, remediation tracking, and SLA reporting. Work with IT teams to reduce exposure from unpatched systems, edge devices, VPNs, remote access platforms, and high-risk vulnerabilities. Support ransomware resilience efforts, including backup validation, recovery planning, segmentation, and incident readiness. Detection, Logging, and Incident Readiness Improve logging, alerting, and visibility across critical systems and data. Work with internal analysts and external providers to improve detection quality and response processes. Support incident response planning, tabletop exercises, and technical response procedures. Assist with post-incident reviews and drive security improvements based on lessons learned. Governance Support and Risk Reduction Support development of technical security standards, baselines, and procedures. Provide technical input for security risk assessments, vendor reviews, audits, cyber insurance requests, and business security questions. Help prioritize security work based on business risk, operational impact, and practical feasibility. Communicate security risks and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Required Qualifications 12+ years of experience in information security, security engineering, infrastructure security, or related technical roles. Strong hands-on experience implementing and operating security controls in enterprise environments. Practical knowledge of identity and access management, including MFA, SSO, conditional access, privileged access, and directory services. Experience with endpoint security platforms, vulnerability management, patching processes, and security hardening. Working knowledge of network security concepts, including firewalls, VPNs, segmentation, secure remote access, and network monitoring.
