The role should be positioned as an execution and coordination role. The analyst will not be expected to own enterprise security operations, perform all production patch deployments, or act as the ISSO. The analyst will support the Federal Security apparatus and product/application teams by making vulnerability data accurate, actionable, and reportable.

Job Description

  • Tenable/Nessus Vulnerability Analysis, Ad Hoc Scanning, and Native Dashboards
  • Perform and Review Tenable/Nessus scan exports and dashboards to identify affected assets, plugins, CVEs, severity, first-seen dates, last-seen dates, plugin output, vulnerability age, and remediation guidance.
  • Run approved ad hoc Tenable/Nessus scans when requested by Security, product teams, ISSO, or leadership, using approved scan templates, credentialed scan profiles, scan windows, and target lists.
  • Create and maintain Tenable/Nessus native dashboards, saved views, reports, filters, asset groups/tags where permitted, and recurring exports for KEVs, Critical/High findings, stale findings, aging, ownership, and validation status.
  • Monitor scan jobs, confirm scan completion, export results, identify scan failures or credential issues, and escalate scan coverage or authentication problems to senior security staff or platform administrators.
  • Help validate whether findings are true positives, duplicates, stale/residual artifacts, configuration issues, missing patches, unsupported software, or application dependencies.
  • Use Tenable/Nessus evidence to support ownership assignment, remediation planning, retest validation, and closure evidence.
  • Reconcile Tenable/Nessus data against iPost, ServiceNow/CA ServiceDesk, Jira, POA&M trackers, Excel files, SharePoint trackers, and remediation evidence.
  • Escalate unclear Tenable/Nessus findings to senior security staff, system owners, application teams, SO/Windows Services, infrastructure, database teams, or ISSO stakeholders for ownership decisions.
  • Operate within approved rules of engagement. The role may run authorized ad hoc scans and build Tenable reports, but is not expected to be the enterprise Tenable platform administrator or final approver for scan policy changes

  • Intermediate Power BI or reporting experience, including data imports, transformations, tables, charts, filters, slicers, and dashboard maintenance.
  • Strong Excel skills, including filtering, lookups, pivots, conditional formatting, data cleanup, and comparison across exports.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
