Information Security Risk Specialist, Senior

The Opportunity:

Cyber threats are everywhere, and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming to government agencies. 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 and Navy to discover their cyber risks, understand policies, and develop a mitigation plan. You’ll review technical, environmental, and personnel details from SMEs, Engineers, and Program Managers to assess the entire threat landscape. Then you’ll guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, whitepapers, and milestones. You’ll work with your client to translate security concepts, so they can make the best decisions to secure their mission-critical systems and critical infrastructure. This is your opportunity to act as an information security subject matter expert while broadening your skills in cybersecurity and the Risk Management Framework (RMF).
