Applying security patches and upgrades to our platforms Maintain the Licenses / certifications and update where required Check the results of recent Discovery scans to see if new privileged accounts, service accounts, or dependencies were found. Access Governance: Managing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) by creating roles, defining folder structures, and setting granular permissions for users and groups. Audit & Compliance: Generating and reviewing audit logs and reports (e.g., most active users, failed heartbeats) to detect unusual activity and prove compliance. Configuring launchers to record privileged sessions, allowing or disallowing for full keystroke and video audits of administrative work. Technical Troubleshooting: Resolving issues related to firewall requests, load balancer configuration. Security Oversight: Monitor Active Sessions: Session Monitoring for any currently active privileged sessions, particularly on high-value assets like Domain Controllers. Troubleshoot any Remote Password Changing (RPC) failures from the previous 24 hours to prevent account lockouts or "stale" credentials. Correlate server alerts with your SIEM to investigate suspicious activity, such as multiple failed login attempts or large-scale secret exports. Key Skills Required Deploying and managing security tooling (vulnerability scanning, EDR Agents, etc); Deploying and managing identity solutions (Directory services, IdPs, Privileged Access Management solutions); Basic understanding of threat frameworks (such as ATT&CK). High standards in written report and/or design documentation; Working at a technical low level design level with the project team; Knowledge and experience of Agile, DevSecOps, CI/CD principles and their application in secure environments; Understanding of MOD assurance and policies; Due to the nature of the organisation and the projects worked, successful applicants must hold the highest level of Security Clearance.
