Responsibilities
  • Design and implement Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) aligned with NIST SP 800-207 and federal ZTA strategy
  • Implement controls across ZTA pillars: identity, device, network, application, and data
  • Support microsegmentation, least privilege access, and continuous verification models
  • Integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines and cloud-native environments (AWS GovCloud, Kubernetes)
  • Collaborate with DevSecOps and platform teams to embed security as code practices
  • Evaluate and secure containerized workloads and APIs (e.g., VA Lighthouse APIs)
  • Support Authority to Operate (ATO) and continuous ATO (cATO) processes
  • Map and implement controls aligned with NIST 800-53, FISMA, FedRAMP High
  • Automate compliance validation and evidence collection (e.g., audit logs, scan results)
  • Monitor and analyze security events using SIEM platforms (e.g., Splunk, Datadog)
  • Support incident detection, response, and remediation activities
  • Conduct vulnerability scanning, risk assessments, and threat modeling
  • Implement and manage identity and access management (IAM/ICAM) solutions
  • Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA), privileged access controls, and least privilege policies
  • Support data protection strategies (encryption, DLP, data classification)
  • Collaborate with engineering, platform, and compliance teams to ensure secure architectures
  • Develop and maintain security documentation, policies, and system security plans (SSPs)
