A Systems Analyst I will function as the Vulnerability Remediation person for the Client Server Team. This will allow us to remediate more vulnerabilities and stay in a ready state regarding vulnerability remediation. The Vulnerability Remediation & Change Coordination Analyst is responsible for coordinating, tracking, and facilitating the remediation of server vulnerabilities that fall outside standard patching schedules. This role serves as the primary interface between Cyber Security, the Server Operations teams, and Change Management to ensure high-risk and exception-based vulnerabilities are remediated in a timely, auditable, and compliant manner. The position leverages ServiceNow, including the IT Remediation Workspace, to manage end-to-end vulnerability remediation activities and to present remediation changes to Change Advisory Board (CAB). The role supports enterprise server platforms including Windows, Linux, and Citrix and requires strong organizational, communication, and change management skills rather than day-to-day patch execution.

ServiceNow & IT Remediation Workspace

Create, manage, and update:

Vulnerability Remediation Tasks (VUL)

Associated Change Requests

Related Configuration Items (CIs)

Ensure accurate documentation of remediation plans, implementation steps, validation outcomes, and rollback plans within ServiceNow records.

Validate that vulnerability remediation tasks meet ServiceNow process requirements and audit expectations before change submission.

Coordinate remediation sequencing across multiple server platforms and support teams using ServiceNow workflows and assignment rules.

Change Management & CAB Presentation

Prepare and submit Normal and Standard Change Requests for vulnerability remediation activities.

Present vulnerability remediation changes to CAB, clearly articulating:

Security risk and urgency

Scope and impacted systems

Remediation approach

Testing and validation plans

Rollback and risk mitigation measures

Address CAB questions and coordinate follow up actions as needed to secure approval.

Ensure approved changes are scheduled, communicated, and implemented in alignment with change windows and operational constraints.

Cross Platform Server Support

Coordinate vulnerability remediation across:

Windows Server environments

Linux Server environments (RHEL)

Citrix server platforms

Work with platform SMEs to understand remediation requirements and constraints without directly executing patching activities.

Ensure consistent remediation tracking and reporting across heterogeneous server platforms.

________________________________________

Organization, Tracking & Reporting

Maintain detailed tracking of:

Outstanding vulnerabilities

Change approvals

Implementation status

Validation and closure evidence

Support audit, compliance, and leadership reporting with accurate, up to date remediation metrics and status summaries.
