ECS is seeking a Security Engineer - Lead to work in our Suitland, MD office.

Job Description:
Responsibilities include the Design, development, testing, and evaluation of information system security throughout the systems development life cycle.

Specifically:

  • Analyze design constraints, analyze trade-offs and detailed system and security design, and consider life cycle support.
  • Apply security policies to applications that interface with one another, such as Business-to-Business (B2B) applications.
  • Assess the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures utilized by system(s).
  • Assess threats to and vulnerabilities of computer system(s) to develop a security risk profile.
  • Build, test, and modify product prototypes using working models or theoretical models.
  • Conduct Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) of the application's security design for the appropriate security controls, which protect the confidentiality and integrity of Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
  • Design and develop cybersecurity or cybersecurity-enabled products.
  • Design hardware, operating systems, and software applications to adequately address cybersecurity requirements.
  • Design or integrate appropriate data backup capabilities into overall system designs and ensure that appropriate technical and procedural processes exist for secure system backups and protected storage of backup data.
  • Develop and direct system testing and validation procedures and documentation.
  • Develop detailed security design documentation for component and interface specifications to support system design and development.
  • Develop Disaster Recovery and Continuity of Operations plans for systems under development and ensure testing prior to systems entering a production environment.
  • Develop risk mitigation strategies to resolve vulnerabilities and recommend security changes to system or system components as needed.
  • Develop specific cybersecurity countermeasures and risk mitigation strategies for systems and/or applications.
  • Identify components or elements, allocate security functions to those elements, and describe the relationships between the elements.
  • Identify and direct the remediation of technical problems encountered during testing and implementation of new systems (e.g., identify and find workarounds for communication protocols that are not interoperable).
  • Identify and prioritize essential system functions or sub-systems required to support essential capabilities or business functions for restoration or recovery after a system failure or during a system recovery event based on overall system requirements for continuity and availability.
  • Identify, assess, and recommend cybersecurity or cybersecurity-enabled products for use within a system and ensure that recommended products are in compliance with organization's evaluation and validation requirements.
  • Implement security designs for new or existing system(s).
  • Incorporate cybersecurity vulnerability solutions into system designs (e.g., Cybersecurity Vulnerability Alerts).
  • Perform risk analysis (e.g., threat, vulnerability, and probability of occurrence) whenever an application or system undergoes a major change.
  • Provide guidelines for implementing developed systems to customers or installation teams.
  • Provide input to the Risk Management Framework process activities and related documentation (e.g., system life-cycle support plans, concept of operations, operational procedures, and maintenance training materials).
  • Store, retrieve, and manipulate data for analysis of system capabilities and requirements.
  • Provide support to security/certification test and evaluation activities.
  • Utilize models and simulations to analyze or predict system performance under different operating conditions.
  • Design and develop key management functions (as related to cybersecurity).
  • Analyze user needs and requirements to plan and conduct system security development.
  • Develop cybersecurity designs to meet specific operational needs and environmental factors (e.g., access controls, automated applications, networked operations, high integrity and availability requirements, multilevel security/processing of multiple classification levels, and processing Sensitive Compartmented Information).
  • Ensure that security design and cybersecurity development activities are properly documented (providing a functional description of security implementation) and updated as necessary.
  • Implement and integrate system development life cycle (SDLC) methodologies (e.g., IBM Rational Unified Process) into development environment.
  • Employ configuration management processes.
  • Design, implement, test, and evaluate secure interfaces between information systems, physical systems, and/or embedded technologies.
  • Design, develop, integrate, and update system security measures that provide confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, and non-repudiation.
  • Design to security requirements to ensure requirements are met for all systems and/or applications.
  • Develop mitigation strategies to address cost, schedule, performance, and security risks.
  • Perform an information security risk assessment.
  • Perform security reviews and identify security gaps in architecture.
  • Provide input to implementation plans and standard operating procedures as they relate to information systems security.
  • Trace system requirements to design components and perform gap analysis.
  • Verify stability, interoperability, portability, and/or scalability of system architecture.

Required Skills:
  • Bachelor's degree
  • Top Secret/SCI Level Clearance (Final);
  • Hold the (CISSP) and (ISSEP) certification
  • Hold the Splunk Certified Enterprise Security Admin certification;
  • Travel as requested;
