About The Position

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 cybersecurity engineering skills to design and develop secure systems for Defense? We’re looking for a risk management specialist who can create solutions for emerging technology that will withstand even the most advanced cyber threats. As a cybersecurity specialist at Booz Allen, you’ll establish the foundation of cybersecurity for new technology in support of priority missions. You’ll coordinate work with engineers and mission specialists to identify the right mix of tools and techniques to translate your client’s IT needs and future 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. You’ll lead the team through a critical approach to network design, providing alternatives and customizing solutions, to maintain a balance of security and operational needs. This is a chance to make a difference in the security of warfighter technology. Your technical expertise will be vital as you help customers overcome their most difficult challenges by integrating secure practices for risk management of proofs of concept and prototype capabilities. You’ll be able to broaden your skill set into hybrid environments while building peace of mind in a critical infrastructure. Work with us as we protect and advance warfighter mission technology. Join us. The world can’t wait.
