•    Apply vulnerability scoring and prioritization methodologies, including CVSS, CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV), vendor advisories, and threat intelligence, to support risk-based remediation decisions.
•    Assess vulnerabilities and security configurations on Linux systems, including troubleshooting authenticated scans and supporting remediation activities.
