About the Job

The Opportunity
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 organizations understand and mitigate risks? The answer is you. We need your knowledge as an information security risk spe cia list to help break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.
On our team, you’ll work with government counterparts to discover cyber risks, understand applicable policies, and develop mitigation plans or strategy. You’ll get technical and personnel details 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 work on translating security concepts for your client so they can make the best decisions to secure their legacy and next generation mission-critical systems. This is your opportunity to take an active role in information security while growing your skills.
