THE POSITION

If you are looking to further your IT security career, we are looking for you! Join the Enterprise Information Security Office as a Vulnerability Management Analyst (Information Security Specialist 2) where you will serve as the primary conductor of vulnerability scanning and vulnerability management. Work involves implementation, deployment and use of host and application scanning technologies. Do not miss this opportunity to actively participate in actions that reduce the threat landscape and help reduce risk to the Commonwealth and its public service data.


DESCRIPTION OF WORK

As a Vulnerability Management Analyst, you will be responsible for ensuring every asset with an IP address receives a scan or assessment based on Commonwealth and agency specifications. Work involves troubleshooting problems that may arise from scans or from scans not working appropriately, reviewing network configurations to ensure all assets receive an appropriate scan, and managing network and cloud-based scanners and agents. Our team will rely on you to actively search out assets that are not being scanned and ensure future scans address the assets or networks in question.


You can expect to review data returned from scans and from other sources to reduce vulnerabilities and risk to the Commonwealth. This position provides executive and technical reports to system and application owners. You will have the opportunity to assist other analysts that are involved with application-level scanning. This is in the form of SAST (static analysis security testing), SCA (software composition analysis) and DAST (dynamic application scanning technology) scanning technologies. Attending meetings as a subject matter expert in the field of vulnerability scanning or vulnerability management will be included in your duties.
