Cybersecurity Vulnerability Management Analyst IISumma HealthFull-Time / Benefit EligibleRemote Opportunity - Hybrid Preferred Summa Health is strengthening how we protect the systems our patients and caregivers depend on, and we're looking for someone who will find the weaknesses before anyone else does. If you've worked in vulnerability management, you know the scan results never end and that not every finding deserves the same urgency. We want the person who can tell the difference. You'll need the judgment to prioritize risk in a clinical environment, where some systems can't simply be patched and rebooted, and the communication skills to work with engineers, system owners, and clinical teams to get fixes done without disrupting care. We act with urgency, follow through, and own what we find.
Summary:
Under direction of the Manager, Cybersecurity Operations, the Cybersecurity Vulnerability Management Analyst is responsible for performing the tasks that support enterprise vulnerability identification, assessment, prioritization, and remediation tracking across the organization's technology environment, including on-premises infrastructure, cloud workloads, medical/IoT devices, and third-party connected systems.
Operates and maintains the organization's vulnerability scanning and assessment platform(s) (e.g., Rapid7 InsightVM), executes scheduled and ad hoc scanning activity, validates and triages findings, and applies risk-based prioritization using industry-standard scoring methodologies (e.g., CVSS, EPSS) in conjunction with asset criticality and business/clinical impact.
Coordinates with Infrastructure, Application Owners, Clinical Engineering, and third-party vendors to drive timely remediation of identified vulnerabilities and missing patches within established Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and documents risk exceptions, compensating controls, and Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms) for vulnerabilities that cannot be remediated on standard timelines.
Monitors emerging Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), vendor security advisories, and threat intelligence to identify organizational exposure ahead of active exploitation, and produces recurring vulnerability management metrics, dashboards, and reporting to support Cybersecurity Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) oversight and leadership decision-making.

b) Advanced knowledge of vulnerability scoring frameworks (CVSS v3/v4) and exploit-probability models (e.g., EPSS), and their application to remediation prioritization.
c) Advanced knowledge of common vulnerability classes (e.g., buffer overflow, injection, misconfiguration, unpatched/end-of-life software, insecure default configurations) and their exploitation paths.
d) Intermediate knowledge of enterprise patch management processes and tooling (e.g., WSUS, Microsoft Intune/SCCM, Ivanti) and coordination with Infrastructure/Endpoint teams on patch cycles.
e) Intermediate knowledge of computer networking concepts and protocols, and network security methodologies (e.g., segmentation, firewalls, IDS/IPS).
f) Intermediate knowledge of cloud infrastructure security posture management concepts as applied to vulnerability identification in IaaS/PaaS/SaaS environments.
g) Basic knowledge of medical device and operational technology (OT/IoMT) security considerations, including compensating controls where patching is not feasible.
h) Basic knowledge of server and client operating systems, and common hardening baselines (e.g., CIS Benchmarks).
i) Advanced knowledge of cyber threats, threat actor TTPs, and how emerging CVEs and advisories translate into organizational risk.
j) Basic knowledge of laws, regulations, policies, and ethics as they relate to cybersecurity and privacy, including HIPAA Security Rule implications of unremediated vulnerabilities.
k) Intermediate skill in triaging scan output, eliminating false positives, and validating exploitability of findings.
l) Intermediate skill in developing and tracking remediation plans, risk exceptions, and compensating controls in a GRC risk register.
m) Intermediate skill in producing vulnerability management reporting, dashboards, and KPI/metrics packages for technical and executive audiences.
n) Basic skill in utilizing virtual collaborative workspaces and/or tools (e.g., SharePoint, Teams, ticketing/ITSM platforms).
o) Ability to communicate complex technical findings, concepts, or ideas in a confident and well-organized manner through verbal, written, and/or visual means.
p) Ability to evaluate information for reliability, validity, and relevance, and to synthesize scan data, asset context, and threat intelligence into prioritized remediation guidance.
q) Ability to function effectively in a dynamic, fast-paced environment with competing remediation priorities across clinical and business systems.
r) Ability to develop productive working relationships with a broad range of business, clinical, and operational professionals to drive remediation without unilateral authority over their systems.
