  • Classify vulnerabilities by severity and provide actionable remediation recommendations, including patching requirements, compensating controls, and mitigation strategies when fixes are not immediately available;
  • Partner with Infrastructure, IT Operations, Cloud, and Development teams to coordinate timely remediation activities. Track vulnerabilities through IT service management workflows and ensure compliance with established SLAs;
  • Verify remediation effectiveness through validation testing, maintain vulnerability and exception records, and support security audits and compliance initiatives;
  • Contribute to the ongoing enhancement of the CMDB and asset inventory to improve asset visibility, risk assessment, and vulnerability management capabilities; and
  • Develop and communicate vulnerability management metrics, dashboards, and executive reports, providing visibility into risk exposure, remediation progress, and overall security posture while recommending continuous process improvements.

  • Solid understanding of operating systems, networking, cloud environments, and infrastructure security, including servers, firewalls, and databases;
  • Knowledge of vulnerability management and risk assessment principles, including CVE/CVSS frameworks, exploitability analysis, attack vectors, and vulnerability prioritization;
  • Experience with vulnerability management, patch management, and ITSM platforms, such as VIPR Pro, Rapid7 InsightVM, Armis, ServiceNow, Tenable/Nessus, Qualys, or Microsoft Defender for Endpoint;
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to assess technical risks, prioritize remediation efforts, and produce clear, well-documented findings;
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with experience working cross-functionally with infrastructure, network, cloud, development, and security teams;
