Maintain thorough and accurate documentation of security processes, procedures, and configurations. Prepare detailed reports on security findings, incidents, and actions taken. Job Description: As Sr. Cybersecurity Engineer, you'll play a critical role in safeguarding digital assets by designing, implementing, and maintaining robust cybersecurity infrastructure. You will work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to identify vulnerabilities, develop solutions, and ensure compliance with security protocols and industry standards. Staying informed about emerging trends and threats in the cybersecurity landscape, you will proactively enhance defenses through innovative tools and methodologies. Additionally, you will conduct risk assessments, implement security controls, and support incident response efforts to minimize risks and maintain the integrity of our systems and data. This position requires an active DoD Clearance (Secret, Top Secret, Top Secret/SCI) or the ability to be obtain an (Interim Secret, Interim Top Secret). Because an active or interim DoD clearance is required, U.S. Citizenship is required.
