The position requires expertise in DoD DMZ Whitelist registrations, web content filtering, and configuration management design. Essential skills include technical problem-solving, customer coordination, and the ability to conduct thorough risk assessments to ensure all non-standard requests are authorized before deployment within the secure network environment.

  • Review port and protocol modifications to ensure compliance with the DoD Category Assurance List (CAL).
  • Assess risks associated with new or modified firewall rules and provide technical recommendations.
  • Process and track CLSA, FA, Non-Standard Boundary/Port, and Banned Services exception requests.
  • Conduct technical reviews of boundary protection requirements and evaluate implementation strategies for port security.
  • Monitor the PPSM Registry for discrepancies and perform recurring validation reviews to ensure data accuracy.
  • Manage enterprise change requests through the Government ITSM tool and provide status reports to leadership.
  • Participate in PPSM TAG and CCB meetings to provide recommendations for authorization decisions.

What we're looking for

  • Active DoD Secret clearance or higher (TS/SCI eligible).
  • DoD 8140: 652 Security Architect Intermediate certification (includes SecurityX, CISM, or multiple SANS certs).
  • Bachelor's degree and 4+ years of prior experience.
  • Experience in information systems security, networking, infrastructure, ports, protocols, services, and boundary protection.
  • Knowledge of the DoD Information Network, DMZ Whitelist registrations, and Web Content Filtering requirements.
  • Ability to conduct technical risk assessments for non-standard port/service requests and provide mitigation recommendations.
  • Proficiency in processing CLSA, FA, and Banned Services Exception requests through government tools.
  • Skills in technical problem solving, work ticket prioritization, and professional communication.
