The ideal candidate possesses a comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity principles, threat landscapes, and incident response protocols. Experience with security information and event management (SIEM) tools, firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, and endpoint security solutions is required. You will work closely with IT teams to ensure security is integrated into all aspects of the technology infrastructure. Responsibilities include developing security awareness training programs, managing security audits, and staying abreast of the latest security threats and technologies. A Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field is required; relevant security certifications (e.g., CISSP, CEH) are highly desirable. A minimum of 5 years of experience in information security, with a focus on analysis and incident response, is essential. Proven experience in security architecture, risk management, and compliance is a plus. Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills are necessary. This is a hybrid role, based out of our Washington, D.C. office, offering flexibility between remote work and in-office collaboration.
