Purpose

As part of Scotiabank's Cyber Security Operations (CSOps), the Enterprise Vulnerability Management (EVM) Program supports the identification, prioritization, communication, tracking, escalation, and reporting of vulnerability exposure across the Bank's technology environment. EVM Operations works with application, infrastructure, penetration testing, scanning, and technology teams to drive vulnerabilities through treatment and validation within established remediation expectations.

The remediation function supports recurring vulnerability-management operations across infrastructure, web application security, penetration testing, and priority vulnerability processes. The team uses enterprise vulnerability data, risk scoring, ticketing and ServiceNow workflows, dashboards, and stakeholder communications to maintain visibility of remediation progress and support timely closure.

Accountabilities:

The Vulnerability Remediation Associate is responsible for supporting the day-to-day execution of EVM vulnerability remediation activities. Working under the direction of senior EVM remediation staff, the Associate reviews assigned vulnerability findings, validates key asset and ownership information, communicates with remediation owners, tracks remediation plans and target dates, follows up on outstanding actions, and maintains accurate ticket and status information.

The role supports Zero Tolerance and other prioritized vulnerability workflows by monitoring assigned findings, coordinating acknowledgement and remediation updates, supporting rescan or retest validation, documenting evidence and status, and escalating unresolved issues through the established EVM process. The Associate also supports operational reporting, data-quality follow-up, dashboard and ticket reconciliation, and EVM workflows in Jira and ServiceNow USEM.
