A Cybersecurity Systems Engineer (CSSE) ensures cyber survivability attributes are implemented in system designs, assesses and evaluates customers’ and stakeholders’ cybersecurity requirements, decomposes, derives, and refines the system’s cybersecurity requirements at all levels, and drives built‑in cybersecurity protections into the architecture and design. The CSSE guides and supports the security layout/architecture, influences security tools selection and development, evaluates implementations to identify security risks and attack surface, verifies that cybersecurity protections from the design are realized and integrated, and supports the development of verification efforts to ensure cybersecurity protections are functional, effective, and complete.

The CSSE also supports the definition of security governance and risk management.
