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 our clients understand their risks and how to mitigate them? The answer is you—a lead information security risk specialist who can break down complex threats into manageable plans of action. As an information security risk specialist on our aviation team, you’ll consult for our aviation clients, leading the discovery of their cyber risks, understanding applicable policies, and developing a mitigation plan.

You’ll oversee the analysis of technical and personnel details from SMEs and engineers as your team reviews the entire threat landscape. Then, you’ll guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, white papers, and milestones. Your client will rely on you to translate security concepts so they can make the best decisions to secure our nation’s airspace and its infrastructure.

This is your opportunity to take a leadership role in information security while sharing your skills with both your clients and your team. Work with us as we protect our nation’s airspace.
