Your Team & Role
As a Specialist, Network Security Analyst within the Network Security Strategy & Analysis team within the ISO Infrastructure Security team, you will use network, security, asset, configuration, and vulnerability data to identify risk, quantify technical debt, evaluate control effectiveness, and support strategic network security decisions. You will partner with Network Engineering, Network Security Operations, Infrastructure, Cloud, Identity, Architecture, and other security teams to convert complex data into validated findings, prioritized recommendations, dashboards, and measurable risk-reduction actions. You will explain complex concepts and influence others to adopt data-supported points of view while working on complex problems that require an in-depth evaluation of security controls and business context.
This role does not own day-to-day administration or operations of network security platforms; instead, this team will use analysis to drive environmental hardening and risk reduction. Success requires technical depth, strategic thinking, strong analytical judgment, and the ability to lead work through influence across multiple teams.

- Build repeatable analytics, queries, dashboards, and reports that measure network security posture, exposure, control coverage, risk-reduction progress, and data quality.
- Perform complex analysis independently with minimal assistance, documenting methods, assumptions, limitations, validation steps, and recommended actions.
- Partner with network, infrastructure, application, cloud, identity, and security teams to validate findings, resolve data discrepancies, and establish accountable remediation plans.
- Support current-state assessments and strategy work for NAC, segmentation, Zero Trust, ZTNA, firewall modernization, proxy transformation, and related capabilities.
- Translate analytical findings into concise risk statements, decision-ready summaries, visualizations, and presentations for technical and leadership audiences.
- Maintain a network security risk and technical-debt inventory, including evidence, ownership, prioritization, dependencies, status, and risk-acceptance information.
- Automate recurring data preparation, quality checks, correlation, and reporting where practical and maintain clear process and query documentation.
- Continuously improve analytical methods, data sources, metrics, and validation processes based on stakeholder feedback and evolving risk priorities.
The Skills & Expertise You Bring
- Bachelor of Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, or equivalent experience in related fields.
- Applied experience in cybersecurity, network engineering, security analytics, risk analysis, or a related technical discipline.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to work with incomplete or inconsistent enterprise data and produce defensible conclusions.
- Experience developing queries, dashboards, metrics, or reports using security and technology data.
- Ability to independently manage assigned analysis and project work while escalating material risks, blockers, and data-quality concerns appropriately.
- Knowledge of business concepts and information security tools and processes needed to make sound decisions within the company context.
- Experience with agile ways of working and collaboration across geographically and functionally diverse teams.
- Excellent written communication, presentation, documentation, and collaboration skills.
Applied Experience with Several of the Following
- Splunk or comparable SIEM and analytics platforms, including search development, field normalization, lookups, dashboards, and scheduled reporting.
- SQL, Python, PowerShell, or comparable methods for data manipulation, correlation, automation, and quality validation.
- Firewall, proxy, ZTNA, NAC, DNS, flow, routing, switching, authentication, and remote-access telemetry, including Zscaler data where applicable.
- Asset inventories, CMDB, IPAM, endpoint-management, identity, vulnerability-management, and ServiceNow data.
- Network concepts such as IP addressing, subnets, VLANs, routing, ACLs, firewall policy, NAT, segmentation, and application connectivity.

- NIST and ISO 27000 standards, CIS Controls, Zero Trust concepts, and information security control standards and engineering specifications.
- Data visualization, KPI/KRI design, trend analysis, executive reporting, and measurement of control effectiveness and remediation outcomes.
Preferred Qualifications
- Security, networking, analytics, cloud, Splunk, Zscaler, or GIAC certification.
- Experience analyzing data in a large enterprise with multiple network and security platforms.
- Experience supporting network segmentation, NAC, Zero Trust, firewall-rule analysis, or technical-debt reduction initiatives.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Security Specialist
Verify your role meets specialty occupation criteria
Pull the O*NET profile for Security Specialist and confirm your job duties align with the degree requirement USCIS uses to evaluate specialty occupation status. Roles that accept any bachelor's degree field are the most common H-1B denial trigger for security positions.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search for companies that have filed Labor Condition Applications for security-related job titles using Migrate Mate, which surfaces DOL LCA filing data by occupation so you can identify employers with a proven H-1B track record before applying.
Check prevailing wage before negotiating your offer
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the prevailing wage for your exact SOC code and work location before you receive an offer. Your employer's LCA must certify your salary meets that threshold, and knowing the number protects you from underpayment.
Clarify security clearance eligibility with your employer early
Many Security Specialist roles require a U.S. security clearance, which H-1B holders can hold but must be sponsored for by a U.S. employer. Confirm clearance eligibility and sponsorship intent before the offer stage to avoid post-hire complications.
Document your degree equivalency if your credential is foreign
USCIS accepts foreign three-year degrees for H-1B purposes when a credential evaluation confirms equivalency to a U.S. bachelor's degree. Get a course-by-course evaluation from a NACES-member evaluator before your employer files the I-129 petition.
Time your H-1B filing around the lottery registration window
H-1B cap-subject petitions must be registered between March 1 and March 20 each fiscal year. If you're moving from OPT, confirm your employer's readiness to file well before that window closes, and factor the October 1 start date into your job timeline.
H-1B Visa Security Specialist: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Security Specialist role qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Yes, if the position requires at minimum a bachelor's degree in cybersecurity, information security, computer science, or a closely related field. The degree requirement must be specific to the role. If your employer's job description accepts any bachelor's degree regardless of field, USCIS may issue an RFE challenging specialty occupation status. Review the O*NET profile for your SOC code to confirm the standard entry requirement.
Which industries sponsor H-1B visas most often for Security Specialists?
Defense contractors, federal IT services firms, financial institutions, and large healthcare systems are among the most consistent H-1B filers for security-focused roles. These sectors face regulatory requirements that drive demand for credentialed security professionals and have established processes for sponsoring foreign nationals. You can browse verified H-1B-sponsoring employers in this field on Migrate Mate.
Can an H-1B holder obtain a U.S. security clearance?
H-1B holders are eligible to be sponsored for a security clearance by a U.S. employer, but approval is not guaranteed and depends on the agency, the clearance level, and the individual's ties to foreign nationals or governments. Secret and Top Secret clearances require adjudication that can take months to years. Discuss clearance eligibility directly with your prospective employer before accepting an offer, since many Security Specialist roles require it as a condition of employment.
What happens to my H-1B status if my security role is terminated?
You enter a 60-day grace period following termination, during which you can remain in the U.S. to find a new sponsor, change status, or prepare to depart. Your new employer must file an H-1B transfer petition before the grace period ends for you to continue working. USCIS requires the new petition to be properly filed, not just received, before your authorization lapses.
How does prevailing wage apply to Security Specialist H-1B petitions?
Your employer's Labor Condition Application must certify they will pay you at least the prevailing wage for your job title, SOC code, and work location. The DOL sets four wage levels based on experience and responsibility. Security Specialists placed at a lower wage level than their actual duties warrant is a common LCA compliance issue. Use the OFLC Wage Search before your offer stage to verify the applicable wage floor.
