• Securely integrate and authorize emerging technologies, including Generative AI platforms, AI-enabled development tools, and CLI-based systems within hybrid and mission-critical environments.
• Align systems with DoD cybersecurity frameworks (RMF, NIST 800-53, CMMC) and develop ATO packages, SSPs, POA&Ms, and evidence for security control implementation. Support automated compliance validation and continuous authorization readiness.
• Manage vulnerability scanning programs using ACAS/Nessus, container scanning, and SBOM tools. Coordinate remediation strategies, analyze findings, and support security monitoring and incident response efforts.
• Secure DevSecOps capabilities within classified and restricted environments, ensuring consistent architecture, cross-domain security, and authorized artifact movement between air-gapped systems.
• Maintain robust security controls, accreditation readiness, and operational assurance for DevSecOps platforms, cloud infrastructures, and AI-enabled development systems across mission-critical programs.
