Sr Cyber Security Engineer
DescriptionPRIMARY PURPOSE OF POSITION:
The Cyber Security Engineer (CSE) will execute the highly technical, tactical elements of the Security Architects' (and overall CISS) cyber security strategy, eliminating a functional cyber security capability gap while providing pro-active cyber security risk management.
The CSE will act as a liaison to the Security Architect and Cloud and Infrastructure Operations/Engineering and Utility IT/OT teams to effectively communicate and assist in architecting and implementing effective security solutions.
The CSE will also assist with vulnerability mitigation, incident remediation, and will help manage change requests in support of cyber vulnerability remediation efforts.
The CSE will ensure the implementation of system security measures in accordance with established procedures to ensure confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, and non-repudiation, and will perform security reviews to identify gaps in security architecture.
The CSE will assist in the development of appropriate security risk management plans.
