Information Systems Security Manager

The Opportunity:  

Everyone knows security needs to be “baked in” to a system architecture—you actually know how to bake it in. You can identify and implement ways to harden systems and reduce their attack surface. What if you could use your cyber architecture skills to design and develop secure systems for defense clients? We’re looking for an architect who can help create solutions for defense clients that will withstand even the most advanced cyber threats. 

As a security architect or network security engineer at Booz Allen, you’ll help design a secure communications network to support mission-critical operations. You’ll work with our digital battlespace team to identify the right mix of tools and techniques to translate your client’s needs and goals into a plan that will enable secure and effective solutions. We need to come up with the best solutions, so you’ll investigate new techniques, break free from the legacy model, and go where the industry is going. As a team, we’ll take a critical approach to network design, providing alternatives and customizing solutions to maintain a balance of security and mission needs.  

This is a chance to learn from a team of experts as you make a difference in the security of warfighter communications. Your contributions will help customers overcome their most difficult challenges by integrating secure practices like endpoint-based detection, response EDR, multi-factor authentication, identity and access management, and advanced analytics. You’ll be able to gain experience in leading and implementing the Assessment and Authorization process while building peace of mind in a critical infrastructure.  

Work with us as we improve our defense clients’ communications networks to support mission-critical operations through cyber security. 

Join us. The world can’t wait.
