About The Position

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

The answer is an information security risk specialist like you who will break down complex threats into manageable plans of action. As an Information System Security Assessor on our team, you’ll use your experience to work with national security and intelligence community clients to discover their cyber risks, understand policies, and develop mitigation plans. You’ll review technical and environmental details to assess the entire threat landscape. Then, you’ll guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, white papers, and milestones. You’ll work with your client to translate security concepts, directives, and controls into action so they can make the best decisions to secure their mission-critical systems. This is your opportunity to act as an information security specialist while broadening your skills in leading-edge technologies in support of national security. Join us. The world can’t wait.
