What you can expect as the Associate Cyber Operator at Fortress...
The Associate Cyber Operator will be Fortress Security Solution’s first level of critical support to ensure products are being assessed based on security controls and vulnerabilities. Your primary responsibility will be to leverage documented methods/procedures to produce an initial assessment for both Software and Hardware products by validating vendor-provided open-source information.

The ultimate deliverable will be to assess the risk of the designated products while anticipating, recognizing, reporting, and resolving disparities with your team members and finally create a professional write-up based on your assessment findings.
