Dear Aspirant!
We empower our people to stay resilient and relevant in a constantly changing world. We’re looking for people who are always searching for creative ways to grow and learn. People who want to make a real impact, now and in the future. Does that sound like you? Then it seems like you’d make a great addition to our vibrant international team.
We are looking for: Cybersecurity Professional - Vulnerability Management Analyst
You’ll make an impact by:
- Review vulnerability scan results from enterprise vulnerability management tools and identify the assets and systems associated with scan findings using available inventory and ownership records.
- Analyze and document findings using available severity scores, exploitability information, asset data, exposure information, and established prioritization criteria.
- Apply organization-defined risk categories and remediation SLAs; flag missing or conflicting inputs and refer business-impact or risk determinations to the designated onshore/DTS/C&T SME.
- Create, assign, and track remediation tickets with clear technical details, affected assets, severity information, remediation guidance, owners, and due dates.
- Coordinate with infrastructure, application, cloud, network, product, and OT/plant teams to progress remediation activities.
- Track remediation progress, overdue findings, aging, exceptions, dependencies, and recurring vulnerabilities.
- Escalate critical and high-severity findings, aging items, remediation blockers, and cases requiring risk or control decisions to the appropriate stakeholders.
- Document remediation constraints, such as legacy technology, vendor dependencies, operational availability, maintenance windows, or patching limitations, and coordinate evaluation of potential compensating controls with the designated DTS/C&T SME.
- Record compensating-control decisions, approved exceptions, and risk-treatment outcomes as provided by authorized decision-makers; do not independently select controls, approve exceptions, or accept residual risk.
- Coordinate vulnerability rescans and validate closure evidence through scanner results, configuration checks, patch verification, or other approved validation methods.
- Validate that submitted evidence meets the defined operational closure criteria and escalate disputed or technically ambiguous results to the designated SME.
- Produce vulnerability operational reports covering ticket status, remediation SLA compliance, backlog, aging, exceptions, blockers, and closure progress.
- Identify recurring vulnerability patterns and recommend process improvements or preventive actions for review by the responsible technical owners.
- Maintain accurate records and audit trails in vulnerability management and ticketing systems.
- For OT/manufacturing assets, work within established plant change-control processes and escalate PLC, HMI, SCADA/DCS, industrial network, production-architecture, or vendor-qualified firmware decisions to the designated SME.
Use your skills to move the world forward!
- B.E./B.Tech./MCA/M.Sc. in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or a related discipline.
- 6–8 years of experience in vulnerability management, security operations, infrastructure security, or a related cybersecurity domain.
- Experience working with enterprise vulnerability assessment tools and remediation workflows.
- Experience coordinating remediation across multiple technical teams and maintaining accurate operational records.
- Relevant certifications such as Security+, CySA+, CEH, GIAC, or equivalent are preferred.
- Strong understanding of the vulnerability management lifecycle, vulnerability analysis, ticket coordination, remediation tracking, and evidence-based closure.
- Hands-on experience with vulnerability scanners such as Tenable, Qualys, Wiz, Rapid7, or equivalent.
- Good understanding of CVE, CWE, CVSS, exploitability information, remediation guidance, and common vulnerability types.
- Ability to apply documented prioritization rules and remediation SLAs consistently, while escalating business-impact, residual-risk, and control-selection decisions to the responsible SME.
- Working knowledge of Windows and Linux systems, network devices, databases, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise applications.
- Ability to interpret scan results, investigate potential false positives, and document findings for technical-owner review.
- Experience with ticketing and workflow tools such as ServiceNow, Jira, or equivalent.
- Experience supporting OT/ICS or manufacturing environments, including SCADA, substations, utilities, HMI, PLC, RTU, DCS, or industrial control systems, is preferred.
- Awareness of OT-specific constraints such as legacy assets, vendor-managed systems, passive scanning, maintenance windows, and operational availability requirements.
- Knowledge of IEC 62443 and OT/critical-infrastructure security practices is an advantage.
- Basic scripting or automation using Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar is desirable.
- Strong analytical, documentation, communication, and stakeholder-coordination skills.
