Capture, manage, and translate customer requirements into actionable technical solutions. Implement and maintain systems in accordance with federal IT security policies and enterprise standards. 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.
