**Job Description :**

**JOB SUMMARY**

**About Highmark Health:** At Highmark Health, we believe in a world where everyone has access to the best health. We are an integrated delivery network dedicated to transforming healthcare, and our Information Security team plays a critical role in safeguarding our mission-critical assets and protected health information. Join us in building a resilient and secure future.

**The Opportunity:** We are seeking an adaptive, data-driven **Information Security Analyst** to join our dynamic **Vulnerability Management** team. This isn't just about identifying technical vulnerabilities; it's about strategic risk prioritization and proactive defense of our most vital assets. You will be a key player in integrating newly acquired infrastructure, resolving "Redline" risks through advanced telemetry and automated orchestration, and ensuring security is a true business enabler.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, understand that security is a business enabler, and are passionate about defending critical systems, we encourage you to apply!

**What You Will Do:**

+ **Strategic Risk Orchestration:** Move beyond traditional CVSS-based patching. Leverage our proprietary methodology to transform millions of raw vulnerabilities into a prioritized, actionable resolution queue, focusing on the highest impact risks.

+ **Operational Asset Discovery & Contextualization:** Serve as a detective for our attack surface. Correlate data from on-premise, cloud, and vendor systems to identify "Crown Jewel" assets and "Operational Core" systems, ensuring business context drives every remediation priority.

+ **M&A Cyber Integration:** Act as a technical security expert for acquisitions. Perform rapid risk assessments of newly acquired infrastructure, identifying technical debt and "Patient Zero" vulnerabilities (e.g., Unattributed KEVs) before integration into the corporate network.

+ **Workflow & Lifecycle Management:** Support the end-to-end remediation pipeline within ServiceNow SecOps. Manage the orchestration between automated discovery and manual resolution, ensuring high-velocity threats like Ransomware and Weaponized exploits are mitigated within strict, evidence-based Service Level Objectives (SLOs).

+ **Governance & RAID Advocacy:** Proactively manage the team's RAID Log (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies). Identify and escalate "blockers" - process or technical dependencies - that could impact our security posture or project timelines.

+ **Remediation Partnership & Diplomacy:** Act as a bridge between Security and IT Operations. Participate in remediation forums, providing technical rationales and impact data to help teams prioritize security tasks alongside their operational roadmaps.

+ **Telemetry Integrity:** Monitor the efficacy of our scanning agents and API integrations to ensure 100% visibility across all public clouds and on-premises segments.

**What You Will Bring:**

+ **Experience:** 1-3 years of experience in Information Security, Vulnerability Management, or Risk Advisory.

+ **Vulnerability Frameworks:** Proven experience with attack characteristics & mapping, vulnerability advisories or catalogs, and dynamic risk-based prioritization.

+ **Tech Stack Proficiency:** Hands-on experience with enterprise vulnerability scanners (e.g., Rapid7, Crowdstrike, Asimily, Defender) and cloud security tools.

+ **Governance & Compliance:** Understanding of healthcare and government mandates (e.g., PCI, NYDFS, CMS, HIPAA, NIST CSF, or NIST 800-53).

+ **Operational Awareness:** Experience performing Business Impact Analysis (BIA) or mapping "Critical to Operations" (CTO) dependencies.

**Skills & Abilities:**

+ **Analytical Mindset:** Ability to correlate "unattributed" threats with specific business impact using advanced scoring frameworks like CVSS v4.0 or EPSS.

+ **Cloud & IoT Savvy:** Comfortable identifying risk in ephemeral cloud workloads (e.g., Azure) and legacy medical/IoT devices that cannot be traditionally patched.

+ **Systems Thinking:** Understand how delays in one process create downstream risks in the security pipeline.

+ **Agile Documentation:** Proficiency in maintaining RAID logs and project tracking in a fast-paced environment.

+ **Interpersonal Diplomacy:** Ability to drive remediation while maintaining strong partnerships with "Critical Ops" teams.

+ **Technical Breadth:** Knowledge of secure SDLC best practices, network security architecture, and virtualization security.

**Why Highmark Health?** We offer a challenging and rewarding environment where your contributions directly impact the health and well-being of millions. You'll work with cutting-edge technologies, collaborate with passionate professionals, and have opportunities for continuous learning and career growth.
