IT Security Technician

IT Security Technician

We currently have an opportunity for an IT Security Technician. This position requires a variety of specialised skills and applied patience. A security technician has a single place to work from; however, is required to support multiple, different, and forever changing environments. Communication (both verbally and written) needs to be excellent, empathy, and the ability to manage expectations effectively are sought after characteristics. This function is 'fast paced' and often measured on the ability of an individual to work within a growing team of varied skill sets. A successful security technician will be well versed in the overall Microsoft Security stack; however, in transition of technology, a sound knowledge of third party Security Protocols and applications is necessary.
