Our team of exposure management engineers, Axonius platform specialists, and automation developers focuses on cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM), risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM), and exposure prioritization. We partner with client security, IT, infrastructure, and cloud teams to eliminate blind spots, de-duplicate findings across tools, assign asset ownership, and drive measurable risk reduction.
Roles and Responsibilities
Exposure Management Platform Operations
Operate and maintain security platforms including vulnerability management, RBVM, CAASM, and CNAPP tools
Monitor security findings and support prioritization and remediation workflows
Assist in platform tuning, configuration optimization, and integration with client environments
Support onboarding of new assets, applications, and cloud environments into security platforms
Exposure Management Operations
Review exposure findings and assist with prioritization and remediation tracking
Help manage remediation workflows with client engineering teams
Generate operational dashboards and reporting for security leadership
Assist in maintaining asset inventory coverage and scanning accuracy
Traditional Vulnerability Management
Deploy, configure, and maintain vulnerability scanners (e.g., Tenable Nessus/Tenable.sc, Qualys VMDR, Rapid7 InsightVM) across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.
Design scan sites, asset groups, scan templates, and schedules that deliver complete coverage while minimizing operational impact on production systems.
Configure and manage authenticated (credentialed) scanning, scan engines, and agent deployments; troubleshoot credential failures and coverage gaps.
Execute and validate network, host, and web application vulnerability scans; verify findings and reduce false positives.
Manage the full vulnerability lifecycle — discovery, validation, assignment, remediation, re-scan verification, and closure.
Coordinate patch and configuration remediation with IT and system owners, and track risk acceptances, exceptions, and compensating controls.
Perform configuration and compliance scanning against benchmarks such as CIS and DISA STIG.
Maintain vulnerability management policies, SLAs, and standard operating procedures aligned to frameworks such as NIST, PCI DSS, and CIS Controls.
Produce recurring vulnerability metrics and reports, including open/aging vulnerabilities, mean time to remediate, and scan coverage.
Risk-Based Vulnerability Management Configuration
Configure risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM) so that vulnerabilities are prioritized by real-world risk — business impact, exposure, and exploitability — rather than by CVSS score alone.
Ingest and consolidate vulnerability findings from multiple scanners (e.g., Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7) into RBVM platforms such as Axonius, Nucleus, Brinqa, Armor Code, Cogent, Zafran and configure de-duplication so a single vulnerability reported by different tools is represented once.
Build and maintain asset criticality ratings and business-context tags so prioritization reflects the importance of each asset to the business.
Configure enrichment of findings with threat intelligence and exploitability signals (e.g., known-exploited, active-in-the-wild) to surface the vulnerabilities attackers are most likely to use.
Design saved queries and dynamic asset/vulnerability views that isolate high-risk, exposed, mission-critical findings and filter out low-risk noise and items already within SLA.
Configure risk scoring, severity mapping, and prioritization logic that combine CVSS, exposure (internet-facing vs. isolated), exploit status, asset criticality, and existing mitigating controls.
Build automation workflows and dashboards to automate remediation workflows — create and route tickets to the correct owner in ServiceNow/Jira, notify teams, and track SLA and patch-window adherence.
Configure escalation (“fire alarm”) logic and SLA-based rules for critical and zero-day vulnerabilities that require faster-than-standard remediation.
Build dashboards and reporting that show remediation progress, SLA compliance, risk reduction over time, and coverage — tailored for both operational teams and security leadership.
Continuously tune prioritization models and reduce alert fatigue so client teams focus effort on the findings that actually reduce risk.
CNAPP & Cloud Security Support
Assist with the operation and optimization of CNAPP platforms (e.g., Wiz, Prisma Cloud, Orca)
Support cloud posture monitoring and exposure analysis
Assist with investigation of cloud misconfigurations, identity exposures, and attack paths
Work with senior engineers to onboard new cloud environments
Automation & Integrations
Develop scripts and automation to improve security workflows
Build integrations between security tools and ticketing systems
Automate reporting, vulnerability triage, and remediation tracking
Use APIs and automation frameworks to reduce manual operational effort
Use the Axonius Query Language, REST API, and Enforcement Center to automate asset queries, enrichment, ticketing, and remediation actions.
Client Engagement
Participate in regular operational cadence meetings with clients
Provide updates on platform findings and remediation progress
Assist senior engineers in troubleshooting security platform issues
Contribute to documentation and operational playbooks
