• Documentation of Remediation Activities: Maintain accurate and detailed documentation of vulnerability remediation activities, including the vulnerabilities identified, the remediation measures taken, and the results of verification and validation.

• Cloud Security Technologies: Gain exposure to various security technologies used in vulnerability remediation, such as patch management systems, configuration management tools, and security automation platforms in the cloud.

• Collaboration with Security Engineers: Collaborate closely with security engineers and other technical staff throughout the vulnerability remediation lifecycle.

• Enhance Security Knowledge: Deepen your understanding of vulnerability management principles, remediation best practices, and security hardening techniques.

What We're Looking For:

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Information Security, Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
