Remote Baseline Security Engineer

Job Description

5+ years of IT/security experience who has hands-on CIS or STIG experience and has actually created or customized security baselines. They need to understand NIST 800-53/RMF and be technical enough to understand how Windows, Linux, networking, or cloud systems should be hardened. The biggest thing is that I don't just want someone who has worked in a STIG environment. I want someone who has actually built, modified, or maintained the baselines.

This person is essentially building the security standards that tell the SEC how its technology needs to be configured. Booz needs someone who understands CIS and STIGs well enough to not just follow them, but actually create and customize security baselines for different technologies. They then tie those technical settings back to NIST and FISMA requirements.
