Support container security engineering with Docker and related technologies.
Conduct vulnerability scans using ACAS, interpret results, and drive remediation efforts.
Collaborate with developers to ensure secure coding practices and integrate security into CI/CD pipelines.
Delineate physical and logical security boundaries for systems and networks.
Ensure software developers are trained on secure software development practices.
Generate and interpret vulnerability scans, implement STIGs and CIS Benchmarks, and support RMF Continuous Monitoring activities, including remediating and/or mitigating findings on system POA&Ms.
