Information Security Risk Specialist

The Opportunity:

Cyber threats are everywhere, and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming to the Department of Defense. In all of this "cyber noise," how can these organizations understand their risks and how to mitigate them? The answer is you. We need your knowledge as an information security risk specialist to help break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.

As an information security risk specialist on our team, you'll work to discover cyber risks, understand applicable policies, and develop a mitigation plan. You'll gather technical, environmental, and personnel details from engineers and SMEs to help with the assessment of the entire threat landscape. Then, you'll help your team guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, white papers, and milestones. This is your opportunity to build experience in a strategic information security role while developing skills in cybersecurity, security and network tools.

Work with us as we protect our nation's cyber infrastructure and critical systems.
