Information Security Risk Specialist

Information Security Risk Specialist

Warrants about cyber threats are everywhere and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming to government agencies and military organizations. In all of this “cyber noise,” how can these organizations understand their risks and how to mitigate them? The answer is you – an information security risk specialist 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 the DoD to discover their cyber risks, understand applicable policies, and develop a mitigation plan. You’ll review technical, environmental, and personnel details from SMEs, engineers, and program managers 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 so they can make the best decisions to secure their mission‑critical systems or critical infrastructure. This is your opportunity to act as an information security subject matter expert while broadening your skills in cybersecurity and the Risk Management Framework. Join us as we protect our military’s communications and our nation's cyber infrastructure.
