Why we read it this way (5)
The title 'Cybersecurity Manager' implies people-management duties (leading a vulnerability management team), which could support 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers). However, the posting's primary emphasis is on hands-on cybersecurity work — vulnerability scanning, hardening, risk analysis — so 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) was chosen as the primary SOC, with 11-3021 as the runner-up.
Qualys, CrowdStrike, Wiz, and SecurityScorecard are listed together as interchangeable scanning platform options ('such as'); Qualys is named first and the others are captured as alternatives.
CIS Benchmarks and STIG are listed as interchangeable hardening framework examples ('e.g., CIS, STIG'); CIS is named first with STIG as the alternative.
Microsoft Intune appears only in the skills taxonomy header of the posting (not in the body requirements or qualifications section), so it is treated as preferred/contextual rather than a hard gate.
The role is hybrid onsite in Herndon, VA or Falls Church, VA — both fall within the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria CBSA. It is not fully remote.
