• Deploy, configure and tune Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Azure AD identity protections, and Azure Sentinel (or equivalent SIEM) for detection, hunting, and automated response.
• Develop and execute ransomware resilience programs including detection rules, backup validation, IR playbooks, containment strategies, and tabletop exercises.
• Investigate security incidents and lead forensic analysis and remediation planning to remove adversary persistence and restore secure operations.
• Evaluate, harden, and secure clinical imaging and information systems (PACS, RIS, VNA) and their interfaces (DICOM, HL7) to maintain patient safety and data confidentiality.
• Perform risk assessments (including CRQ/Risk Register updates), third-party security reviews, and vendor security management.
• Create clear, actionable audit reports, technical findings, and executive-level briefings; track remediation and verify closure.
• Mentor and coach engineering and security teams; drive security best practices, secure development guidance, and cross-functional collaboration.
• Contribute to security policy, standards, and architecture documentation while staying current with threat trends, tools, and healthcare cybersecurity guidance.

Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field, or equivalent experience; advanced degree preferred.
• 10+ years of progressive cybersecurity experience with substantial hands-on engineering and assessment work in enterprise environments; experience in healthcare or HealthTech strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated experience conducting technical security assessments, penetration tests, and red/blue team exercises in complex environments.
• Strong hands-on experience with Fortinet FortiGate, FortiManager, and FortiAnalyzer administration and policy management.
• Practical experience deploying and tuning Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, identity protection (Azure AD), and Sentinel or equivalent SIEM for threat detection and response.
• Proven incident response, digital forensics, and ransomware mitigation experience including playbook creation and tabletop leadership.
• Familiarity with clinical systems and protocols including PACS, RIS, VNA, DICOM, and HL7 and understanding of their security and patient-safety implications.
• Deep knowledge of HIPAA requirements, healthcare compliance, and experience performing HIPAA readiness assessments and audits.
• Relevant professional certifications such as HCISPP, OSCP, CRISC, and GIAC certifications are highly desirable and demonstrate required technical and governance skills.
• Strong networking, scripting, and systems skills (TCP/IP, routing/switching, Linux, Windows, cloud platforms, automation with PowerShell/Python).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with ability to produce audit reports and present technical findings to executive leadership.
