Cyber threats are everywhere, and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming to the Department of War (DoW). In all of this “cyber noise”, how can these organizations understand their risks and how to mitigate them? The answer is an Information Systems Security Engineer like you who can break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.

That’s why we need you, an Information Systems Security Engineer, who understands what “No-Fail” means. You operate with extreme ownership and demonstrate full accountability for outcomes, proactively identifying problems, driving solutions, and ensuring completion without reliance on external direction. You take personal responsibility for mission success, team performance, and deliverable quality—owning both successes and failures. Anticipate risks, remove obstacles, and act decisively to close gaps before they impact schedule, cost, or performance.

Operate with a “no excuses” mindset while maintaining professional humility and continuous improvement. Elevate team effectiveness by taking initiative beyond assigned responsibilities to support mission objectives.

Work with us as we protect our nation's cyber infrastructure!

Join us. The world can’t wait.
