Validate your expertise in anticipating and maintaining cloud security posture by identifying and remediating vulnerabilities, implementing threat protection, responding to incident escalations, and engineering security and compliance best practices across hybrid IBM Cloud environments.
A Security Engineer is a person who anticipates and maintains a security posture by identifying and remediating vulnerabilities through the implementation of threat protection, responding to security incident escalations, and proactively engineering security and compliance best practices. This individual can perform these tasks with minimal direction. Security Engineers often serve as member of a larger team dedicated to cloud-based management and development and may also collaborate with architects, developers, and SREs to secure parts of hybrid environments in an end-to-end infrastructure.
Candidates should have strong familiarity with IBM Cloud security capabilities, scripting, and experience securing containerized and hybrid environments.
Cloud concepts, Cloud Native, and IBM Cloud fundamentals
IBM Cloud Reference Architecture knowledge
Strong skills in scripting and automation
Security in virtualized and containerized environments
Security logging and monitoring practices
Familiarity with DevSecOps, Network, Data, and System security
