Security Compliance

Apply federal, DoD, and IC configuration standards across all managed systems.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

  • Strong networking fundamentals: DNS, DHCP, IPAM, load balancers, firewalls
  • Hands-on hypervisor experience (VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, or Citrix XenServer)
  • IAT II certification (or ability to obtain); CSSP Infrastructure Support cert required within 120 days of hire

  • Familiarity with Cribl for data aggregation and normalization
  • Scripting in Python, Bash, or PowerShell
