  • STIG hardening and DISA compliance

  • Certification & Accreditation (C&A) processes

  • Licensing and software asset management

  • VMWare and other virtualization platforms

  • Scripting (Perl, KSH, or similar)

What You'll Get in Return

• Hands-on experience with:

  • Virtualized enterprise environments

  • LAN/WAN & firewall technologies
