Cybersecurity Architect

* The Opportunity:

** As a Cybersecurity Architect at Booz Allen, you’ll support the program management of a suite of cybersecurity tools, deliver a Zero Trust Architecture roadmap, and develop an Enterprise Integration Strategy for Modernization, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) capabilities. You’ll coordinate work with in-house teams, subcontractors, and industry partners to identify the right mix of tools and techniques to translate your customers’ IT needs and future goals into a plan that will enable secure and effective solutions.

We need to come up with the best solutions, so you’ll investigate new techniques, break free from the legacy model, and go where the industry is going. You’ll lead the team through a critical approach to network design, providing alternatives and customizing solutions to maintain a balance of security and mission needs.

This is a chance to make a difference in the security of cyber defense network environments. Your technical expertise will be vital as you help customers overcome their most difficult challenges by integrating secure practices such as SIEM, SOAR, CI, and CD, endpoint security management, and advanced analytics. You’ll be able to broaden your skillset into areas such as Zero Trust Architecture, AI and ML-informed response, automation and orchestration of security events, and Cloud-based security, while building peace of mind in a critical infrastructure.

Join our team as we tackle cybersecurity challenges and shape opportunities to implement solutions and service offerings, leveraging investments and proven capabilities.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
