About The Position

A network security analyst ensures that information systems and computer networks are secure. This includes protecting the company against hackers and cyber-attacks, as well as monitoring network traffic and server logs for activity that seems unusual. Additionally, these analysts are responsible for finding vulnerabilities in the computer networks and creating recommendations for how to minimize these vulnerabilities. The network security analyst investigates security breaches, develops strategies for any security issues that arise, and utilizes the help of firewalls and antivirus software to maintain security. This position directly supports HHSC’s enterprise cybersecurity compliance, audit readiness, and system authorization program. The contractor will play a key role in ensuring every system has an SSP, every system has a Security Assessment, and every system has a documented Risk Assessment — exactly the accountability model your CISO Office is driving.
