Why we read it this way (5)
The degree requirement is effectively 'None' — the JD lists an Associate's or Bachelor's as the baseline but immediately follows with 'any suitable combination of experience and education will substitute,' making no degree a hard gate.
The 5+ years of overall IT/cybersecurity experience is the stated role-level minimum; the 3+ years specifically in a security engineering/analyst role is a sub-requirement within that gate.
Specific security tools (Rapid7/Nessus/Qualys, SentinelOne/Microsoft Defender, Nmap, Burp Suite, Metasploit, Wireshark) appear in the Knowledge, Skills & Abilities section under an experience-framed list ('Experience with security tools such as…'), where 'such as' signals examples rather than hard gates — marked as preferred accordingly.
Industry certifications (Security+, CEH, CISSP, etc.) are explicitly labeled 'preferred' in the posting.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
