Hands-on experience with vulnerability scanning tools (e.g., Tenable products, Qualys, or NMAP) and interpreting technical scan results. Familiarity with vulnerability remediation and risk prioritization frameworks (e.g., CVSS, CISA KEV). Demonstrated experience supporting vulnerability lifecycle tracking and reporting using standard platforms. Preferred Qualifications: Experience with vulnerability management in cloud environments (Azure, AWS, GCP). Proficiency in scripting or automation using Python, PowerShell, or SQL. Familiarity with SIEMs and security tool integration. Certifications such as CompTIA Security+, CySA+, or equivalent cybersecurity certifications.
