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 the global enterprise and government agencies. In all of this “cyber noise,” how can these organizations understand their risks and how to mitigate them? The answer is you. You will help break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.

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

You’ll translate security concepts for your client so they can make the best decisions to secure their mission‑critical systems. This is your opportunity to take an active role in information security while growing your skills in on‑premises and cloud solutions.
