Why we read it this way (5)
The qualifications section is framed entirely as 'Preferred Experience' — however, the 7+ years requirement and the enumerated technical domains (EDR/XDR, SIEM, SOAR, cloud security, etc.) are reinforced as the 'Top 3 Skills' in the Additional Information section with firm language, so they are treated as hard gates. The degree is explicitly 'preferred' and certifications are 'a plus', so both are marked preferred.
The 'Top 3 Skills' block in Additional Information names Azure and AWS as example platforms; these are captured as preferred since they appear in a supplementary/context section rather than a gating requirements block.
Security frameworks (NIST, CIS Controls, ISO 27001) are described as 'familiarity with' — treated as preferred, with the alternatives field capturing all three named options.
Industry certifications (CISSP, GIAC, Security+, CCSP, Azure Security Engineer) are explicitly called 'a plus' — marked preferred.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Identity & Access Management.
