· Monitor and tune scan configurations, troubleshoot scan failures, and recommend optimizations for improved coverage and performance.

· Maintain and update vulnerability tracking systems, dashboards, and compliance reports using tools like ServiceNow, SharePoint, Microsoft SQL, and PowerBI.

· Develop reports, briefs, and metrics to communicate vulnerability status, remediation progress, and compliance standing to leadership.

· Assist in refining policies, procedures, and workflows related to vulnerability management, security operations, and continuous monitoring.

· Stay up to date on emerging vulnerabilities, CVEs, threat intelligence, and best practices to proactively identify risk areas and improve security controls.

· Familiarity with patch management processes, vulnerability remediation, and risk prioritization frameworks (e.g., CVSS, CISA KEV, etc.).

· Demonstrated experience supporting vulnerability lifecycle tracking and reporting using platforms such as ServiceNow, SharePoint, or PowerBI.

· Strong understanding of cybersecurity frameworks (e.g., NIST 800-53, NIST CSF) and basic compliance requirements.

Preferred Qualifications:

· Proficiency in scripting or automation using Python, PowerShell, SQL, or DAX.

· Familiarity with SIEMs and security tool integration for @contextualizing vulnerability data.
