Why we read it this way (5)

The role is a people-management position with direct reports, budget oversight, and multi-site (70+ branch) scope — classified as a Computer and Information Systems Manager (11-3021). The alt code 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) reflects the substantial cybersecurity component, but managing staff and infrastructure broadly is the primary function.

A Bachelor's degree in information systems or a related field is listed, but the posting explicitly accepts 'any combination of education, training, and experience' as an equivalent, so no minimum degree is hard-required.

The 8-year minimum experience requirement applies only to candidates without a degree; the posting does not state a minimum for degree-holders. The figure is captured as the stated floor.

No specific named technologies, platforms, or vendors are called out beyond general categories (firewalls, servers, storage, cloud, patch management). Skills are extracted at the most concrete level the posting supports; no compensation figures are disclosed.

Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): patch management, cloud operations, data center operations.
