Information Security Risk Specialist

Cyber threats are everywhere, and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming. 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.

Information Security Risk Specialist

As an information security risk specialist on our team, you'll use your experience to work with our client's leadership and subject matter experts to provide cybersecurity and privacy analysis throughout the security assessment and compliance life cycle process. You'll review technical and personnel details from product designers, client subject matter experts, and organizational partners to assess the entire threat landscape. You will plan, develop, and finalize continuous monitoring of cybersecurity and privacy policies, programs, compliance artifacts, and standards in support of security governance and industry security compliance, systems accreditation, and management.

Then, you'll guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, whitepapers, and milestones.

You'll work with your client to translate security concepts, so they can make the best decisions to secure their tools, data, and interconnections to partners. This is your opportunity to act as an information security subject matter expert while broadening your skills. You will help build Booz Allen's vulnerability management capability and service offerings while supporting critical client missions.
