Exposure Intelligence Analyst – Infrastructure & Systems (Servers / Containers / K8s / OS)

Allstate • McCullom Lake, IL

2d • $100,000 - $170,500 • Remote

About The Position

The team operates within a newly established Exposure Management function in the broader cybersecurity organization, focused on modernizing how the enterprise identifies, prioritizes, and mitigates security vulnerabilities shifting from traditional patch approaches to a more strategic focus on true business risk and exploitability. The Individual Contributor roles are designed to bring in deep domain expertise (network, endpoint, cloud, identity, infrastructure, etc.) to bridge the gap between security insights and practical remediation strategies. The Exposure Intelligence Analyst – Infrastructure & Systems serves as the domain-aligned SME responsible for identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing exposure risk across enterprise compute platforms, including servers, virtualization, containers, Kubernetes, and operating system hardening. This role operates within a CTEM model by turning technical findings into actionable exposure intelligence and partnering with engineering SMEs to accelerate risk reduction. Directly identify and reduce real exposure across core infrastructure by validating exploitability and eliminating attack paths across servers, containers, and OS platforms, leveraging AI‑assisted analysis to focus on high‑signal, high‑impact risk.

Requirements

• 3+ years in security engineering, infrastructure engineering, vulnerability/exposure management, or related cyber operations.
• Hands-on knowledge of server/OS hardening, virtualization concepts, and container/Kubernetes fundamentals.
• Ability to interpret technical telemetry and translate into actionable risk decisions.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with Kubernetes security controls, container runtime security, CIS benchmarks, and secure configuration management.
• Scripting/query skills (PowerShell, Python, KQL, SQL) to enrich/validate exposure hypotheses.
• Familiarity with attack techniques affecting infra layers (privilege escalation, lateral movement, persistence).

Responsibilities

• Analyze exposure signals (vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, control gaps) and translate them into exploitable exposure hypotheses.
• Correlate findings across sources to identify attack paths and high-impact exposure conditions.
• Prioritize work based on exploitability, blast radius, and business impact; produce clear remediation guidance.
• Own SME coverage for servers (Windows/Linux), hypervisors, containers, and Kubernetes platforms.
• Identify systemic risks: insecure baselines, patching gaps, insecure container images, cluster misconfigurations, weak segmentation at the host layer, privilege pathways.
• Partner with platform teams to validate remediation effectiveness and ensure durable hardening outcomes.

Benefits

• Comprehensive technology setup, including a laptop, monitors, headset, keyboard, and mouse.
• Monthly connectivity reimbursement for eligible remote employees.
• Opportunity to shape the future of protection.
• Support for causes that mean the most to you.
