Prepare for and support security audits, inspections, and continuous monitoring activities. Proactively identify risks and drive remediation efforts to maintain a strong cybersecurity posture. Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies to improve operational efficiency and ensure mission continuity. Support maintenance windows and occasional after-hours activities to prevent mission disruption.
