Job Description
• Provide cybersecurity-focused architectural leadership across all seven DoD ZT pillars (User, Devices, Networks, Applications, Data, Visibility & Analytics, Automation & Orchestration).
• Lead threat modeling activities to identify attack vectors and define security control requirements to mitigate risks within the integrated ZT architecture.
• Architect the integration of the enterprise's cybersecurity toolset (e.g., SIEM, SOAR, EDR/XDR, DLP) into the ZT framework to ensure comprehensive visibility and enable automated response.
• Define and architect the specific cybersecurity controls and configurations required to enforce ZT principles of "never trust, always verify" within each pillar.
• Develop the architectural strategy for threat detection and incident response within the ZT model, focusing on reducing adversary dwell time and preventing lateral movement.
• Serve as the final review authority for the security design of all implemented capabilities, ensuring they align with the project's ZT goals.
• Collaborate with the other two architects to ensure that their designs for infrastructure and identity are inherently secure and integrate seamlessly into the overall cyber defense posture.
• Translate high-level ZT strategy into actionable, project-level security implementation plans for engineering teams.
• Develop transition plans and documentation to ensure sustainment teams understand the security architecture and threat-informed rationale behind the implemented controls.
