Cybersecurity Policy Specialist
The Opportunity:
When our country’s cybersecurity is on the line, simply reacting is not enough, we need a plan. And when that plan needs to support our defense infrastructure, we need strategic policy support. That’s why we need you, a cybersecurity mission specialist with the expertise required to analyze the policies that determine our cyber resilience.
As a cybersecurity mission specialist on our team, you’ll lead the assessment of your client’s cyber policies, the coverage of those policies, and areas of risks. You’ll evaluate and audit how policies stack up to regulations, best practices, and industry standards. As you guide your client through understanding acceptable risk and availability, you’ll advance the development of a strategic cyber roadmap.
