About The Position

Cyber threats are everywhere, and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming to government agencies.

As an information security risk specialist on our team, you’ll assist military leaders with discovering their cyber risks, understanding applicable policies, and developing a mitigation plan. You’ll gather technical and personnel details from subject matter experts to help with the assessment of the entire threat landscape. You’ll learn how to guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, whitepapers, and milestones, and help to translate security concepts so they can make the best decisions to secure their critical systems. This is your opportunity to build experience in a strategic information security role while developing skills in cybersecurity. Work with us as we protect our nation's cyber infrastructure. Join us. The world can’t wait.
