• Application & hardware whitelisting – Define approved software and hardware baselines; embed validation into build and procurement pipelines.

• Ivanti SSCM – Manage configuration baselines and patch deployment; produce audit ready records.
• Supply chain risk reviews – Work with the CI Review Team to assess acquisitions, evaluate supplier artifacts, and recommend mitigations.
• Advanced risk assessments – Conduct threat modeling, attack surface analysis, and RMF assessments; translate findings into codified architectural improvements.
• Metrics & dashboards – Define KPIs/KRIs and publish executive dashboards (e.g., Splunk) to drive continuous improvement.
• Threat hunting – Use analytics to uncover hidden activity; refine detection rules and automated response playbooks.
• Security control design – Engineer network segmentation, DLP, Trellix endpoint protection, and encryption; verify via automated testing and reviews.
• Compliance coordination – Ensure monitoring meets RMF, NIST 800 137; prepare evidence for oversight bodies.
• Incident response automation – Create run books and orchestration scripts to reduce MTTD and MTTR for classified incidents.
• Stakeholder collaboration – Primary technical liaison for security reviews, ATO sustainment, and joint exercises; brief leadership.
• Knowledge base maintenance – Author and update SSPs, SOPs, and policy artifacts reflecting current capabilities.
• Mentorship & SETA – Provide SETA training on monitoring, threat hunting, whitelisting, and ATT&CK; guide junior staff.
• Reporting – Issue status reports, risk analyses, and executive summaries.
