Rare in this occupation — lead with these, and say what you built with them.
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (6)
The clearance requirement is a Public Trust (not a traditional DoD clearance tier). Public Trust is a Federal suitability determination, not a classified clearance. It has been mapped to 'Secret' as the closest available enum value, but hiring managers should note this is specifically a Public Trust clearance, not a Secret clearance.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent experience,' so no hard degree gate is set.
The experience range is stated as 5–8 years; 5 years is used as the minimum.
Cisco and Checkpoint are listed together under firewall management in the Security Operations section (a required duties block), so both are treated as hard gates. IDS/IPS technologies are mentioned generically with no specific product named and are omitted per the no-generic-concepts rule.
CompTIA Security+, Tenable Certified Professional, and ITIL are explicitly listed as 'preferred' certifications.
Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
