-DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification (e.g., Security+ or equivalent)
-One of the following experience levels:
12+ years with HS diploma
10+ years with AS/AA
8+ years with BS/BA
6+ years with MS/MA
-Experience deploying or engineering enterprise security or infrastructure platforms
Desired Experience
-Hands-on experience with Cisco Secure Workload / Cisco Tetration
-Experience with microsegmentation technologies
-Infrastructure or security automation (Ansible, Terraform, scripting, IaC)
-SIEM integration (Splunk, Sentinel, QRadar, etc.)
-Managing agents or sensors at scale
-Securing hybrid environments (on‑prem + cloud)
-Familiarity with enterprise security frameworks and documentation standards
