We are looking for a dedicated and detail-oriented Security Administrator to join our cybersecurity team, responsible for the end-to-end administration of the organization's endpoint protection, vulnerability management, and web/internet security infrastructure. This role owns the day-to-day operations, tuning, and lifecycle management of Antivirus, EDR/XDR, patch and vulnerability management, and secure web gateway/SASE platforms, ensuring endpoints, servers, and internet-facing traffic are continuously protected, monitored, and compliant with organizational security policy.
Key Responsibilities

• Administer, configure, and maintain Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) / Extended Detection & Response (XDR) and Antivirus platforms (CrowdStrike Falcon, Trend Micro Apex One/Vision One) across desktops, servers, and cloud workloads.
• Monitor EDR/XDR and AV consoles for malware detections, policy violations, and suspicious endpoint behaviour; triage, contain, and remediate infected/compromised endpoints.
• Manage sensor/agent deployment, health, tamper protection, exclusions, and policy tuning to minimize false positives while maintaining detection efficacy.
• Own the vulnerability management lifecycle using Qualys (VMDR) asset discovery, authenticated scanning, vulnerability prioritization (Tru-Risk/CVSS), exception/waiver workflows, and remediation tracking with IT/infra teams.
• Plan, schedule, and monitor patch deployment cycles (OS, third-party applications) in coordination with system administrators; track patch compliance and closure of Critical/High severity findings within SLA.
• Administer web proxy and secure web gateway solutions (Forcepoint Web Security / Fortinet SASE) URL/content filtering, SSL inspection, category and application policies, and internet access controls.
• Manage and maintain Zero Trust Network/Application Access (ZTSA) policies to enforce least-privilege, identity-aware access for remote and hybrid users.
• Investigate and respond to web/proxy-related security incidents (malicious URL access, C2 callbacks, policy bypass attempts) and coordinate blocking/remediation actions.
• Generate and maintain dashboards and reports for AV/EDR health, vulnerability posture, patch compliance, and web/proxy traffic for management and audit purposes.
• Perform periodic health checks, upgrades, and license/renewal tracking for AV, EDR/XDR, vulnerability management, and web proxy/SASE platforms.
• Support internal and external security audits, compliance assessments, and regulatory reviews elated to endpoint and web security controls.
• Document and continuously improve SOPs, runbooks, and playbooks for endpoint protection, patch/vulnerability management, and web proxy operations.
• Coordinate with OEM/vendor support teams for platform issues, upgrades, and escalations.
• Participate in on-call/shift rotations as required to support 24x7 security operations.
