You'll work with leaders to advise on codifying strategic objectives into doctrine and procedures that can help meet defined objectives.

You'll assist with evaluation of computer applications,software, or specialized utility programs to determine if software assurance best practices are followed. You'll recommend tools and capabilities based on your research of thecurrentenvironment and knowledge of various on-premise, cloud-based, and hybrid resources to address security requirements. You will implement the cloud security architectures, tools, and processes that you helped to shape and define.

Your technical experience will be vital as you work with IC clients to ensure standards are met with security requirements.
