This is a mission critical system used to alert end users of impending circumstances as well as for check-ins after a major event, e.g. floods, hurricanes, snow fall, etc.Utilized Remedy to triage trouble tickets, ensuring they were assigned to the appropriate personnel for mitigation. Performed elevated tasks as a Tier 4 Analyst: add new user, remove user, grant role-based access, remotely access end users’ workstations to perform software installs and trouble-shooting of application issues.Worked with the Information Assurance team to perform an internal security audit on Coast Guard applications. Leveraged NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 4 security controls against selected systems. Gathered technical artifacts from Subject Matter Experts (SME’s). Participated in security audit meetings, where system security findings were brought to the forefront and steps to mitigate were discussed.Utilized SIEM software to capture and review system and application logs in real time, allowing for quick reaction and investigation.

Built testing environments in a lab setting for testing hardware and software solutions against NIST 800-53 R4 Security Controls. Maintained and tested Microsoft Security Updates for any affects in functionality of the test systems. Researched and generated reports based on new and existing technology the Department of VA deems interesting. Built, maintained, and administered the lab’s McAfee ePO and Microsoft SharePoint environments. Peer reviewed finished test plan results reports prior to customer delivery.

I worked in an Enterprise Security Testing Services (ESTS) Integrated Test Laboratory (ITL) for the Department of Veterans Affairs, where hardware/software solutions are tested for functionality and security vulnerabilities. As a member of the ESTS ITL, I build environments required for selected solutions to be tested, as well as carry out testing procedures established for each solution, while referencing NIST SP 800-53A and VA Handbook 6500 documentations as compliancy guidlines. I have created testing pages for recording results for the ESTS ITL's Microsoft Security Patch Testing using the HTML5 language, created SharePoint 2010 environments, as well as McAfee ePO environments (with which I am the administrator of both the SharePoint and ePO environments). I have also created many Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for implementing ideas and/or solutions within the ESTS ITL.

I worked in an Integrated Test Laboratory (ITL) for the Department of Veterans Affairs, where hardware/software products and/or solutions were tested for any vulnerabilities and functionality. As a member of the ITL, I assisted in carrying out the testing procedures established for each product/solution being tested, conducted interviews with the ITL engineers and subject matter experts, and applied that information to security test plans and security configuration guidelines. I have also written many Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for implementing ideas and/or solutions within the ITL.
