Key Responsibilities

System Remediation

- Direct System Engineering teams in orchestrating large-scale patching, OS registry hardening, and configuration baselining across Windows, Linux, and virtual environments.
- Define and maintain standardized configuration baselines (CIS / DISA STIGs) across global server builds and container ecosystems.
- Validate post-remediation deployment via verification scans to confirm risk resolution with zero service disruption.

Network Remediation

- Drive cross-functional remediation efforts with Network Engineering to patch and harden routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, and VPN appliances.
- Remediate network configuration drift, weak ACLs, insecure protocol implementations (SSL/TLS versions), and exposed administrative interfaces.
- Enforce network segmentation controls and micro-segmentation models (CIS Benchmarks / NIST SP 800-53) to minimize attack surfaces.

Vulnerability & Risk Management





- Lead end-to-end enterprise vulnerability discovery across internal/external networks, cloud environments (AWS/Azure), endpoints, and server infrastructure.
- Conduct root-cause analysis on complex security findings, distinguishing systemic infrastructure gaps from false positives.
- Manage automated scanning pipelines, sensor coverage, and asset inventories.

Web Application Security Remediation

- Oversee application vulnerability identification and remediation workflows for internal and customer-facing web applications, APIs, and microservices.
- Partner with Software Development and DevOps teams to remediate OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities (e.g., SQLi, XSS, CSRF, broken access control, SSRF, insecure direct object references).
- Guide developers on secure code fixes, runtime application self-protection (RASP), web application firewall (WAF) rule tuning, and dependency updates (SCA/SAST/DAST/IAST).
- Conduct post-remediation verification testing and integrate security gates into CI/CD deployment pipelines.

Tracking, Stakeholder Management & Reporting

- Stakeholder Alignment: Act as the primary security advocate, working closely with IT, DevOps, Network, and Business Application owners to remove friction in patch deployment and secure maintenance windows.
- Tracking & SLAs: Maintain rigorous tracking systems (Jira/ServiceNow/Archer) to manage vulnerability open windows, extension approvals, and mitigation workflows against strict organizational SLAs.
- Executive Reporting: Design and distribute routine executive dashboards, highlighting key metrics such as Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR), SLA compliance percentages, overdue risks,



and enterprise risk trends for senior management and auditors.
