Why we read it this way (8)
The role blends network/infrastructure administration with cybersecurity monitoring and hardening across both IT and OT (SCADA) environments — it could reasonably be classified as either Information Security Analysts (15-1212) or Network and Computer Systems Administrators (15-1244); 15-1212 was chosen because cybersecurity monitoring, vulnerability assessment, and security tooling are the primary stated focus.
The degree requirement lists a Bachelor's in a relevant field as the minimum, but the posting explicitly states candidates without the degree may be considered with sufficient relevant experience — degree requirement is therefore treated as not a hard gate.
Cybersecurity, networking, operating systems, and server backup/recovery are listed as examples of qualifying experience domains under Minimum Qualifications, not as discrete named tools; they are included as required skills because they define the hard gate on the type of experience needed.
Firewalls and VPN appear in the core job responsibilities section as primary duties, making them effectively required for day-to-day work, though they are also echoed under Preferred Qualifications.
SIEM, EDR, IDS/IPS (listed as 'IDP' in the posting, likely meaning IDS/IPS or Identity Protection), and antivirus are listed under Preferred Qualifications.
Security certifications (Security+, CySA+, CCNA Cybersecurity) are listed under Preferred Qualifications; Security+ is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives since all satisfy the same certification preference.
SCADA is mentioned in the responsibilities narrative as a system the candidate will support, not as a gated requirement — listed as preferred.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): server backup and recovery.
