About The Position

Information Security Risk Specialist The Opportunity: Cyber threats are everywhere, and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming to a program responsible for fielding a worldwide enterprise warfighter mission support system. In all of this “cyber noise,” how can program managers understand their risks and how to mitigate them? The answer is you. We need your knowledge as an information security risk specialist to help break down complex threats into manageable plans of action. As an information security risk specialist on our team, you’ll work with DoD acquisition programs to discover their cyber risks, understand applicable policies, and develop a mitigation plan. You’ll get technical and operational details from Assistant Program Managers and Lead Systems Engineers to assess the entire threat landscape. Then, you’ll help your team perform risk and vulnerability assessments in network, system, and application areas. You’ll work on translating security concepts for your client so they can make the best decisions to secure their mission critical system. This is your opportunity to take an active role in information security while growing your skills in complex connected system vulnerability detection, mitigation and remediation. Work with us as we secure and protect our military’s critical mission systems for the better. Join us. The world can’t wait.
