Project Details: This team is working with the greater organization as a whole to create an extremely secure "data center within a data center" to be utilized in the event that their current set up is attacked and deemed unusable. Right now, all information is housed in two data centers for redundancy in the event of failure. This group is working with information deemed "critical" to create a third location for this critical information. The idea is that the networks are configured and fully operational, but are not "turned on" until deemed necessary. This team has cyberresiliency specialists and other SMEs in house (i.e. SMEs in reporting, monitoring, backup platforms, systems engineering, network engineering, etc.) as the goal is that they are a fully functional unit to complete this project from end to end with minimal external support. Goal is hyper-security and being able to operate critical infrastructure in an attack.

Job Description: This person will act as a security analyst and will work hand in hand with a lead audit specialist to address compliance and security initiatives. This person should be familiar with technical concepts and working with technical teams to ensure proper principles are put in place. This person will be responsible adhering to security/audit principles and initiatives through outreach to application owners, assessing configuration, access, etc. to ensure it meets the standards. This person should understand technology and configuration enough to look at a screenshot or other documentation including logs to address compliance/violations and recommend remediation when necessary. A background in threat remediation, risk and security posture assessments and vulnerability analysis experience is required.
