Cybersecurity Risk Analyst

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. We need your knowledge as a Cybersecurity Risk Analyst to help break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.  

As a Cybersecurity Risk Analyst on our team, you’ll work with Navy programs to discover their cyber risks, understand applicable policies, and develop a mitigation plan.

This is your opportunity to take an active role in information security while growing your skills in cybersecurity, security and network tools, systems engineers, artificial intelligence, and data science.
