Job Title: Network Security Analyst 1

Location(s): Austin, TX

A public-sector transportation agency is seeking a Network Security Analyst I to coordinate enterprise server vulnerability remediation efforts. This role focuses on vulnerability tracking, remediation coordination, Service Now administration, change management, and CAB presentations rather than hands‑on patch deployment. The analyst will work closely with cybersecurity, server operations, and infrastructure teams to ensure high-risk vulnerabilities are remediated, documented, approved, and closed in a timely and auditable manner.

• Review, triage, and manage vulnerability remediation assignments within Service Now IT Remediation Workspace.
• Coordinate remediation efforts for vulnerabilities that cannot be addressed through normal patch cycles (e.g., emergency, high-risk CVEs, exceptions, or special remediation scenarios).
• Serve as the central point of coordination between Server Operations, Security (CSOC), and other impacted teams throughout the remediation lifecycle.
• Track remediation status, dependencies, and outstanding actions to ensure vulnerabilities progress to closure in accordance with policy and risk priorities.
• Ensure remediation activities align with the Vulnerability Remediation Process and supporting work instructions.

• Create, manage, and update:
  • Vulnerability Remediation Tasks (VUL)
  • Associated Change Requests
  • Related Configuration Items (CIs)
• Ensure accurate documentation of remediation plans, implementation steps, validation outcomes, and rollback plans within Service Now records.
• Validate that vulnerability remediation tasks meet Service Now process requirements and audit expectations before change submission.
• Coordinate remediation sequencing across multiple server platforms and support teams using Service Now workflows and assignment rules.

• Prepare and submit Normal and Standard Change Requests for vulnerability remediation activities.
• Present vulnerability remediation changes to CAB, clearly articulating:
  • Security risk and urgency
  • Scope and impacted systems
  • Remediation approach
  • Testing and validation plans
  • Rollback and risk mitigation measures
• Address CAB questions and coordinate follow up actions as needed to secure approval.
• Ensure approved changes are scheduled, communicated, and implemented in alignment with change windows and operational constraints.

• Coordinate vulnerability remediation across:
  • Windows Server environments
  • Linux Server environments (RHEL)
  • Citrix server platforms
• Work with platform SMEs to understand remediation requirements and constraints without directly executing patching activities.
• Ensure consistent remediation tracking and reporting across heterogeneous server platforms.

• Maintain detailed tracking of:
  • Outstanding vulnerabilities
  • Change approvals
  • Implementation status
  • Validation and closure evidence
• Support audit, compliance, and leadership reporting with accurate, up-to-date remediation metrics and status summaries.
• Identify process gaps, bottlenecks, or recurring issues and recommend improvements to remediation and change workflows.

Minimum Requirements:

• 3 Required Proven experience coordinating server vulnerability remediation in an enterprise environment.
• 3 Required Strong hands-on experience with Service Now, including Change Management and IT Remediation Workspace.
• 3 Required Solid understanding of change management processes and presenting changes to a CAB.
