Information Assurance Systems Administrator

The Opportunity:

Cybersecurity for mission systems requires more than reacting to findings. This role leads the technical and documentation work needed to maintain an effective security posture, move information systems through Risk Management Framework (RMF), and sustain authorization through continuous monitoring, vulnerability management, and coordinated remediation.

As an Information Assurance Systems Administrator supporting MCTP, you will work across cybersecurity, system administration, enterprise services, communications, engineering, and government leadership to translate DoD and Army security requirements into executable controls and operational actions. You will help maintain authorization evidence, administer vulnerability scanning capabilities, assess and remediate risk, and keep stakeholders informed through working groups, technical coordination, and program reporting.

What You'll Work On:

• Engineer, administer, harden, patch, and maintain Windows Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)cybersecurity infrastructure, including servers supporting the centralized log monitoring solution and othermission cybersecurity services.
• Maintain STIGs, hardened security baselines, system health, approved software repositories, and lifecycle updates.
• Administer and sustain enterprise cybersecurity toolsets, including ACAS or Nessus, Trellix or McAfee ePO, AESS, HIPS, VSE, DLP, and IDS/IPS.
• Configure security policies, plugins or content, repositories, integrations, and monitoring services.
• Perform vulnerability scanning, asset discovery, event analysis, troubleshooting, and remediation coordination.
• Build and maintain security scanning and monitoring capabilities for classified and releasability environments, including SIMLAN, TestNet, Reference Set systems, exercises, and otherauthorized mission environments.
• Maintain separation between exercise and ATO scanning data, and integrate newly authorized systems and locations into cybersecurity coverage.
• Support information systems throughout the RMF lifecycle, including categorization, security-control implementation and assessment, authorization, and authorization sustainment.
• Manage eMASS profiles, POA&Ms, STIG evidence, SSPs, SAPs, SARs, RARs, Security Authorization Packages, MOUs or MOAs, and otherrequired authorization artifacts.
• Maintain continuous monitoring, compliance, and program cybersecurity readiness through ISCM, IAVM, policiesand SOPs, hardware or software inventories, security baselines, applicableDoD or Army guidance, risk and remediation reporting, and coordination with the ISSM, system owners, engineers, administrators, and Enterprise, Commo, and program leadership in support of exercises, WFXs, Reference Set validation, network extensions, and othermission requirements.
