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 Department of War (DoW) organizations. In all of this “cyber noise”, how can these organizations understand their risks and how to mitigate them? The answer is an information security risk specialist like you who will break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.

As an information security risk specialist on our team, you’ll use your experience to work with DoW leaders to discover their cyber risks, understand applicable policies, and develop a mitigation plan. You’ll review technical and personnel details from subject matter experts to assess the entire threat landscape. Then, you’ll guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, whitepapers, and milestones.

You’ll work with your customer to translate security concepts, so they can make the best decisions to secure their critical networks. This is your opportunity to act as an information security subject matter expert while broadening your skills in cybersecurity governance, risk management, and compliance.
