You will evaluate computer applications, software, or specialized utility programs to determine if software assurance best practices are followed and recommend tools and capabilities based on your research of the environment and knowledge of various on‑premises, cloud‑based, and hybrid resources to address Risk Management Framework (RMF) security requirements. Your technical experience will be vital as you work with our clients to ensure standards are met with information assurance and security requirements.

This is an opportunity to use the latest cloud technologies as you look for ways to secure your customers' environment while collaborating with tomorrow's cloud security experts.
