Information Security Program Manager (Product Accreditation)

About Team & About Role:

Rubrik’s Information Security organization advances our security posture, maturity, and capabilities through technologies, tools, and processes that enable the business to secure software, protect data and systems, assure compliance, and build customer trust.  Information Security also monitors and responds to threats and attacks, provides awareness education on security best practices, and helps the organization quantify and manage cyber risks. As a trusted member of our team, you’ll work with top technical talent as you take your career to the next level doing something that truly matters: protecting the world's data. 

Where can you make an impact?

Rubrik is looking for a Product Certifications Program Manager to join our amazing Public Sector Compliance Team. This position proves product conformance to U.S. government requirements including technical security configuration standards (Common Criteria, NIAP Protection Profile, Evaluation Assurance Levels, FIPS, STIG), procurement regulations (Approved Product Lists, CMMC, Section 508, CUI), and operational criteria (Assessment and Authorization, Security and Configuration Baselines, Security Architecture, Data Flows, Encryption). A key part of this role is producing deeply technical documentation such as SCAP Content, System Security Plans (perhaps in OSCAL format in the future), hardening guidance, complex boundary and system diagrams, white papers, competitive analyses, and A&A materials for DoD, Intelligence, and Civilian Federal Sector customers. 

Our ideal candidate is not just fluent in FIPS, STIG, and EAL certification; they will have prior hands-on experience with HW / SW / Cloud product configuration for security, testing for information assurance, and demonstrating technical conformance or compliance with product certification standards and criteria. As an example, the selected candidate will work directly with DISA to generate and test SCAP checklists in order to publish and maintain Rubrik’s official product hardening guidance (STIG). They will specify how a product configuration must be set to meet certain FIPS requirements and will maintain Rubrik’s listing(s) in the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP)’s database of validated modules. They must lead cross functional efforts to influence and drive changes that enhance or enforce secure product configuration. This role will work externally with third party testing labs to certify products and verify Rubrik’s inherited posture of third party components. The successful candidate will have deep subject matter knowledge, technical project delivery expertise, outstanding writing skills, and the ability to translate “govspeak” into clear language for effective collaboration.
