Your technical experience will be vital as you work with customers and teammates to ensure standards are met with information assurance and security requirements.

This is an opportunity to use the latest cloud technologies as you look for ways to secure your customer’s environment. You’ll sharpen your skills in automation, cloud-based security, RMF, STIGS and AWS while collaborating with tomorrow’s cloud security experts.
