Summary

Senior Information Security Specialist (Hands-On / Security Operations)
Onsite- Minneapolis, MN
Full Time / Contract to Hire

CDW is seeking a Senior Information Security Specialist who thrives in a hands-on, break/fix security environment. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being on the front lines-monitoring threats, responding to incidents, and strengthening endpoint security in real time.

Responsibilities:

Monitor and respond to SIEM alerts and security dashboards (Splunk)
Investigate and resolve EDR/antivirus escalations (CrowdStrike)
Support daily security operations across endpoints and user environments
Assist with weak password audits and identity security improvements
Manage and remediate endpoint vulnerabilities, including patching high-risk issues
Upgrade and secure unsupported or legacy operating systems
Enforce and troubleshoot Entra ID & Conditional Access policies
Support secure access initiatives, including Global Secure Access

Required Experience:

Strong experience in security operations, incident response, or endpoint security
Hands-on expertise with:
- CrowdStrike (or similar EDR)
- Splunk (or other SIEM tools)
- Microsoft Entra ID & Conditional Access
Experience with vulnerability management and patching
Working knowledge of security frameworks (CIS Controls or similar)
Ability to troubleshoot, remediate, and resolve issues quickly in a fast-paced environment

Desired experience:

Experience in regulated environments (biotech, life sciences, healthcare, etc.)
Familiarity with compliance-driven security practices

This is a high-impact, execution-focused role where your work directly improves security posture every day. If you enjoy solving real problems, closing security gaps, and being in the action-not just designing from a distance-this role is for you.
