south of Minneapolis.

Information Security Officer at St. Olaf and Carleton Colleges
<https://www.broadeningthebridge.org/2017/12/21/new-infosec-officer/>

Are you an experienced information security professional who is looking to
use your information security skills in a new context, one that will
require you to do everything from routine security work to policymaking,
from application administration to strategic planning, from training to
network security design?

If so, you might be the right person to do Information Security at St. Olaf
and Carleton Colleges in Northfield, MN – the sole Information Security
staffer at the colleges and the expert with paramount responsibility for
providing a safe, secure computing environment for 6,600 students, faculty
and staff.

More specifically, you would wrestle with all the issues of contemporary
information security – multiplying threats, varied solutions, evolving
software and hardware, new skills and methods. We expect that you will
spend about a third of the workweek on information security infrastructure,
a third on pro-active analysis and monitoring, and a third on policy
expertise and community education.

Concretely, you will be responsible for:

   - Conducting network penetration testing, application vulnerability
   assessments, risk analysis, and compliance testing
   - Using Linux and Windows command-line tools (Powershell, Grep, AWK,
   etc.) to analyze and respond to security incidents
   - Using or learning to use information security tools such as Wireshark,
   ArcSight, Bro, Cloudlock, Splunk, Metasploit, Snort, Nessus, Nikto, Nmap,
   WMIC, AppLocker, McAfee ePO, Symantec ESM, etc.
   - Leading the technical aspects of investigations
   - Parsing and querying bro logs and correlating log and network data
   - Recommending firewall, GPO, and other security infrastructure and
   policy changes in partnership with each college’s systems administration
   team

St. Olaf and Carleton offer great working environments with generous
benefits: excellent health care and retirement plans, a tuition benefit for
dependents, 22 days of vacation, free use of the campus recreational
facilities and other campus events, and half-day Fridays in the summer.

Required Qualifications
Education: Bachelor’s degree

Experience: Depending on the breadth and depth of your experience, you
might be hired at a specialist, senior specialist, or officer level.
