Job description

Cyber threats are everywhere, and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming to government agencies and military organizations. In all of this “cyber noise”, how can these organizations understand their risk and mitigate them? The answer is you. We need your knowledge as an Information Systems Security Officer (ISSO) to help break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.

As an ISSO on our team, you lead all Risk Management Framework (RMF) and cybersecurity efforts and coordinate with outside agencies and at the client location. You are responsible for ensuring that the cybersecurity risk management process is in place and the appropriate operational security posture is maintained and documented to protect and defend the capabilities and assets of the client's Enterprise Type Training Enclaves, Information Systems, fielded Program Managed Systems, and Training and Exercise Networks. In this role, you'll conduct scheduled scans of networks and systems, validate applied Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) and patches performed by System Administrators (SAs) and Network Administrators (Nas), and create or implement required RMF products, such as Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&M) and STIGs. You'll perform continuous monitoring of applied STIGs and patches, conduct periodic auditing to assess vulnerabilities of networks and systems, and assist the Information Systems Security Manager (ISSM) in meeting their duties and responsibilities and initiate protective measures for cybersecurity incidents. You'll produce artifacts, trackers, and other necessary documents to meet the Security Control Assessment Validation (SCA-V) and maintain the United States Army Type Authority to Operate (ATO).

• Knowledge of server administration and systems engineering theories, concepts, and methods, and systems lifecycle management principles, including software security and usability
• Ability to determine how a security system should work, including its resilience and dependability capabilities, and how changes in conditions, operations, or the environment will affect these outcomes
