Industry: Cyber Security Analyst Military/Government

In support of the 5th Signal Command USAFRICOM, I provide project management support and guidance for all Systems that fall under the DoD Cyber Security Reciprocity guidance, and have been identified as being connected to the USAFRICON Network, but lack the proper authorization to maintain a connection. My primary duties include verification of all POC information, reviewing any previous Approval to Connect (ATC) documentation, Network Architecture diagrams and Hardware/Software inventories, if available to ensure that no previously unidentified threat or vulnerability is present. Upon completion of all reviews, a recommendation is made to the USAFRICOM ISEC team to either escalate the POR for the ATC or to deny the request for an ATC, until such a time that all weaknesses have been addressed, and the risk level for the connection is reduced to an acceptable level.
