Team and overall work scope

• The team operates within a newly established Exposure Management function in the broader cybersecurity organization, focused on modernizing how the enterprise identifies, prioritizes, and mitigates security vulnerabilities shifting from traditional patch approaches to a more strategic focus on true business risk and exploitability

• IC roles are designed to bring in deep domain expertise (network, endpoint, cloud, identity, infrastructure, etc.) to bridge the gap between security insights and practical remediation strategies

• The Exposure Intelligence Analyst
  - Network & Perimeter serves as the SME responsible for identifying and prioritizing exposure risk across the enterprise network stack (firewalls, routing, VPNs, load balancers, SD-WAN, and segmentation).

• The role uses CTEM principles to convert findings into attack-path-aware exposure intelligence and enable faster remediation by operating as a peer SME with network engineering teams.

Success Measures

• Fewer critical exposures due to misconfigurations or over-permissive access.

• Improved segmentation posture and measurable reduction in attack path feasibility.

• Faster remediation execution through SME-to-SME network partnerships.

Key Responsibilities (Core + Domain) Exposure Intelligence (Core)

• Normalize and analyze security signals and translate them into prioritized exposure narratives.

• Identify multi-step attack paths that traverse network controls, access paths, and trust boundaries.

• Produce actionable outputs for remediation teams; validate closure where feasible.

Network & Perimeter (Domain)

• Own SME coverage for perimeter and internal network exposure: ACLs, segmentation, ingress/egress controls, remote access pathways.

• Identify systemic issues: over-permissive rules, weak segmentation, exposed services, misrouted traffic, insecure VPN configurations.

• Partner with network teams to drive durable fixes and prevent recurrence.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years in network security, network engineering, security operations, or exposure management.

• Strong understanding of network fundamentals (routing, firewalls, VPN, segmentation) and exposure patterns.

• Ability to translate network findings into business risk and remediation guidance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with traffic analysis, network telemetry, DNS/Proxy logs, firewall rule review, and segmentation strategy.

• Understanding of attacker tradecraft related to network movement and perimeter exploitation.

• Automation skills for analysis (Python, KQL, or equivalent).
