Information Systems Security Officer

The Opportunity:

Cyber threats are everywhere, and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming to the Army. In all of this “cyber noise,” how can these organizations understand their risks and how to mitigate them? The answer is an information security risk specialist like you 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 Army client and mission partners to discover their cyber risks, understand applicable policies, and develop a mitigation plan. You’ll review technical and personnel details from SMEs and engineers to assess the entire threat landscape. Then, you’ll guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, whitepapers, and milestones.

As an Information Assurance or Cybersecurity Specialist at Booz Allen, you’ll identify the right mix of tools and techniques to translate your customer’s cybersecurity needs and goals into a plan that will enable secure and effective solutions. You will advise on new techniques and guide the team through critical approaches to design, providing alternatives and customizing solutions to maintain a balance of security and operational needs.
