Position: Information System Security Officer, Lead

The Opportunity:

Cyber threats are everywhere, and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming to the DoD. In all of this “cyber noise,” how can these organizations understand their risks and how to mitigate them? The answer is you—an information security risk specialist who will break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.

As an information security risk specialist on our team, you’ll use your experience to work with the DoD to discover their cyber risks, understand applicable policies, and develop mitigation plans. You’ll review technical, environmental, and personnel details from engineers to assess the entire threat landscape. Then, you’ll guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, white papers, and milestones.

You’ll work with your client to translate security concepts, enabling them to make the best decisions to secure their critical infrastructure. This is your opportunity to act as an information security subject matter expert while broadening your skills in Cloud Computing.

Join us as we protect a Cloud Enterprise DoD Capability.
