HEICO is seeking a Threat and Vulnerability Management Analyst for a full time direct hire on-site role in Hollywood, FL.

ROLE: The Threat and Vulnerability Management Analyst is responsible for identifying, prioritizing, and coordinating the remediation of security weaknesses across HEICO's applications, endpoints, networks, and cloud environments. This role acts as a critical link between threat intelligence and the systems teams executing remediation. In addition to standard vulnerability management, this position proactively validates external defenses through security configuration testing and monitors for sensitive data exposure to ensure a robust overall data security posture.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Scanning & Identification
• Run regular vulnerability scans across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments.
• Configure, maintain, and tune scanning tools to ensure accurate coverage and minimize false positives.
• Data Security & Access Monitoring
• Monitor for excessive or inappropriate access to sensitive data and verify compliance with data protection standards; collaborate with the GRC and Compliance functions to ensure findings are tracked and remediated appropriately.
• Assess data flows and access permissions to identify over-privileged accounts and potential data exposure risks.
• Active Defense Validation & Testing
• Conduct targeted external penetration and security configuration tests to validate the strength of perimeter defenses; penetration testing tools are used primarily to validate vulnerability scan results rather than conduct full-scope red-team engagements.
• Replicate common threat actor techniques to identify and document exploitable paths within the infrastructure.
• Analysis & Prioritization
• Triage incoming vulnerability reports, threat intelligence feeds, and security testing findings.
• Analyze risks using severity metrics combined with internal business context to prioritize remediation efforts.
• Remediation Coordination
• Collaborate closely with IT, DevOps, and systems administrators to guide, track, and validate patching and configuration hardening efforts.
• Assist in organizing patch cycles and developing response plans for zero-day vulnerabilities.
• Reporting & Tracking
• Generate executive and technical dashboards tracking remediation progress, vulnerability aging, and team KPIs.
• Maintain up-to-date documentation on vulnerability standards, exception requests, and remediation playbooks.

SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES
