Find & Apply For Cyber / Information Security Engineer / Analyst Jobs in Hollywood, Florida

HEICO is seeking a Threat and Vulnerability Management Analyst for a full time direct hire on-site role in Hollywood, FL.

ROLE:

The Threat and Vulnerability Management Analyst is responsible for identifying, prioritizing, and coordinating the remediation of security weaknesses across HEICO's applications, endpoints, networks, and cloud environments. This role acts as a critical link between threat intelligence and the systems teams executing remediation. In addition to standard vulnerability management, this position proactively validates external defenses through security configuration testing and monitors for sensitive data exposure to ensure a robust overall data security posture.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Scanning & Identification Run regular vulnerability scans across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments. Configure, maintain, and tune scanning tools to ensure accurate coverage and minimize false positives. Data Security & Access Monitoring Monitor for excessive or inappropriate access to sensitive data and verify compliance with data protection standards; collaborate with the GRC and Compliance functions to ensure findings are tracked and remediated appropriately. Assess data flows and access permissions to identify over-privileged accounts and potential data exposure risks. Active Defense Validation & Testing Conduct targeted external penetration and security configuration tests to validate the strength of perimeter defenses; penetration testing tools are used primarily to validate vulnerability scan results rather than conduct full-scope red-team engagements. Replicate common threat actor techniques to identify and document exploitable paths within the infrastructure. Analysis & Prioritization Triage incoming vulnerability reports, threat intelligence feeds, and security testing findings. Analyze risks using severity metrics combined with internal business context to prioritize remediation efforts. Remediation Coordination Collaborate closely with IT, DevOps, and systems administrators to guide, track, and validate patching and configuration hardening efforts. Assist in organizing patch cycles and developing response plans for zero-day vulnerabilities. Reporting & Tracking Generate executive and technical dashboards tracking remediation progress, vulnerability aging, and team KPIs. Maintain up-to-date documentation on vulnerability standards, exception requests, and remediation playbooks.

REQUIREMENTS

Education:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related field; or an equivalent combination of education and professional experience.

Experience:

Minimum two (2) to four (4) years of dedicated experience in cybersecurit y, with a strong focus on threat and vulnerability management. Hands-on experience with industry-standard vulnerability scanners (such as Tenable Nessus, Qualys, or Rapid7) and cloud security platforms. Direct experience performing security validation using standard penetration testing tools (such as Metasploit, OWASP ZAP, or Burp Suite) primarily to validate scan findings and confirm exploitability — not as a full-scope red-team practitioner. Familiarity with Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) platforms (such as LightBeam) and data loss prevention methodologies. Familiarity with risk frameworks (CVSS, MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, or OWASP). Exceptional communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical vulnerabilities and configuration issues into clear, actionable business risks for non-security teams.

Desired Qualifications:

Proficiency with Python or PowerShell to automate reporting and scanning tasks. Experience managing vulnerabilities within containerized environments (Kubernetes/Docker) and cloud-native workloads. Exposure to Industrial Control Systems (ICS) or Operational Technology (OT) networks. Professional certifications such as CompTIA CySA+, PenTest+, CEH, or similar.
