The Endpoint Vulnerability Analyst supports endpoint vulnerability remediation efforts across enterprise endpoint environments. This role executes the vulnerability remediation lifecycle for assigned work—triage, risk-based prioritization, root-cause analysis, solution validation, deployment coordination, and reporting—partnering with security, operations, engineering, and application teams. The ideal candidate demonstrates endpoint technical depth, works independently on complex issues, contributes to automation and process improvements, and supports governance activities (SLAs, exception handling, and risk reporting) that improve the firm’s overall risk posture.
Key Responsibilities
Monitor and analyze endpoint vulnerability findings using Tenable/Nessus
Assess findings to determine business impact, root cause, and remediation requirements
Apply risk-based prioritization aligned to vulnerability severity, exploitability, asset criticality, and remediation SLAs
Coordinate endpoint remediation activities, including:
Windows and macOS updates and configuration changes
Patch management activities (OS and third-party applications)
Application and browser updates and configuration changes
Driver, firmware, and UEFI/BIOS updates
Removal, upgrade, or retirement of outdated applications
Develop, test, and troubleshoot PowerShell scripts to support remediation and automation
Partner with testing teams to validate remediation solutions prior to deployment
Create and manage ServiceNow incidents/requests and change records; support the change management process
Coordinate remediation execution with cross-functional teams (testing, deployment, operations, policy, and application owners)
Provide endpoint troubleshooting support related to vulnerabilities and remediation deployments
Facilitate meetings with internal teams (and business partners, as needed) to drive timely vulnerability resolution
Maintain remediation tracking data (task lists, status, owners, and timelines)
Prepare regular status reporting on remediation progress, exceptions, and outstanding risk
Support remediation exceptions and risk acceptance/waiver workflows; ensure documentation and approvals meet governance requirements
Produce and communicate vulnerability remediation metrics (e.g., aging, SLA attainment, recurrence) and provide insights to support decision-making
Prioritize and manage multiple concurrent remediation efforts in a deadline-driven environment
Follow established security, operational, and documentation standards;document work performed and outcomes
Build strong working relationships with partner teams to ensure consistent remediation outcomes
Identify recurring remediation gaps and contribute to process improvements
(standard operating procedures, playbooks, automation) to reduce repeat vulnerabilities
