• For requirements related to current CISA efforts, be able to explain to customers technical details of current capabilities offered by CISA, CSD, Threat Hunt (TH) and Engineering & Operations Services (EOS). Confer with the applicable POCs and utilize IT and INFOSEC knowledge to determine an appropriate course of action for delivering specific IT requirements (e.g., may require a submission into the EOS change management process or other action). Be able to recommend efficiencies and optimization of existing capabilities to meet customer requirements.
• For new requirements, confer with appropriate experts across CISA including personnel internal to EOS and TH, and external to TH - such as ME, CB, OTD and OCIO. Obtain concurrence and approval from stakeholders then submit those requirements into the EOS Requirements Management process. Track the submission and if determined to be necessary, submit it into the TH ReqMan process or other CISA processes.
