Information Assurance Analyst - Oahu

Job Function

• Performs assessments of systems and networks within the network environment or enclave and identifies where those systems/networks deviate from acceptable configurations, policies, or guidance. Measures effectiveness of defense-in-depth architecture against known vulnerabilities.
• Assists with risk assessments, and development of security architecture solutions and technologies.
• Supports development of detailed proposals and plans for new information security systems and controls to enhance or enable new capabilities for network or hosted applications.
• Conducts ongoing compliance reviews; assists in developing practices to ensure adequate information security and IT controls.

• Performs information security risk assessments and recommends mitigating controls and solutions for IT and Operations Technology (OT) projects and applications, including proposals for externally hosted applications and new utility technology projects.
• Assists with the system assessments for conformance with configuration control, policy, and guidance.
• Assists with program development and management for privacy, e‑discovery, security awareness training, digital forensics, vulnerability remediation, and other security and compliance programs.
• Performs miscellaneous administrative roles such as schedule development, information tracking, updating deliverables and other work assigned.
• Supports the Company’s business continuity planning, IT disaster recovery planning, cybersecurity incident response planning and team (CS-IMT), with occasional on‑call support.
• Participates in Company emergency response activities as assigned, including any activities required to prepare for such emergency response.

• Computer networking concepts and protocols, and network security methodologies.
• Risk management processes (e.g., methods for assessing and mitigating risk).
• Cybersecurity and privacy principles and organizational requirements (relevant to confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, non‑repudiation).
• Laws, regulations, policies, and ethics as they relate to cybersecurity and privacy.
• Cyber threats and vulnerabilities.
• Cryptography and cryptographic key management concepts.
• Data backup and recovery concepts.
• Host/network access control mechanisms (e.g., access control list, capabilities list).
• Network access, identity, and access management (e.g., public key infrastructure, Oauth, OpenID, SAML, SPML).
• Traffic flows across the network (e.g., Transmission Control Protocol [TCP] and Internet Protocol [IP], Open System Interconnection Model [OSI], Information Technology Infrastructure Library, current version [ITIL]).
• Programming language structures and logic.
• System and application security threats and vulnerabilities (e.g., buffer overflow, mobile code, cross‑site scripting, Procedural Language/Structured Query Language [PL/SQL] and injections, race conditions, covert channel, replay, return‑oriented attacks, malicious code).
• Network attacks and a network attack’s relationship to both threats and vulnerabilities.
• System administration, network, and operating system hardening techniques.
• Different classes of attacks (e.g., passive, active, insider, close‑in, distribution attacks).
• Different cyber attackers (e.g., script kiddies, insider threat, non‑nation state sponsored, and nation sponsored).
• Different cyber‑attack stages (e.g., reconnaissance, scanning, enumeration, gaining access, escalation of privileges, maintaining access, network exploitation, covering tracks, etc.).
• Network security architecture concepts including topology, protocols, components, and principles (e.g., application of defense‑in‑depth).
• Specific operational impacts of cybersecurity lapses.
• Security models (e.g., Bell‑LaPadula model, Biba integrity model, Clark‑Wilson integrity model).
• Ethical hacking principles and techniques.
• Penetration testing principles, tools, and techniques.

• Conducting vulnerability scans and recognizing vulnerabilities in security systems.
• Assessing the robustness of security systems and designs.
• Detecting host and network‑based intrusions via intrusion detection technologies (e.g.,…
