Why we read it this way (6)
The role sits at the intersection of network engineering and information security; 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) was chosen as primary because the JD emphasizes security posture, incident response, vulnerability assessments, and policy enforcement, but 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) is a credible runner-up given the heavy VPN/firewall operations content.
The minimum qualifications gate on 7+ years of experience and a BA/BS degree. The specific technology experience figures (5+ years Palo Alto, 3+ years F5 BIG-IP, etc.) all appear under the 'Preferred Qualifications' heading and are therefore marked as preferred, not required.
Palo Alto GlobalProtect VPN and F5 APM/BIG-IP are called out explicitly in the position summary as core to the role ('deep expertise'), supporting their treatment as hard gates despite the specific year counts appearing under Preferred.
Fortinet FortiGate, Forescout, Gigamon, authentication protocols (RADIUS, LDAP, SAML, MFA), PCNSE certification, and F5-CTS certification all appear exclusively under the Preferred Qualifications section.
The salary range ($101,493.51–$160,000 annually) is disclosed per New York State salary transparency law; actual pay depends on experience, specialty, education, and hospital need.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Firewall management.
