Cyber Assessor, Senior

The Opportunity:  

Cyber threats are everywhere, and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming to government agencies. In all of this “cyber noise,” how can these organizations understand their risks and how to mitigate them? The answer is you. We need your knowledge as an information security risk specialist to help break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.  As an information security risk specialist on our team, you’ll assist our clients with discovering their cyber risks, understanding applicable policies, and developing a mitigation plan.

You’ll gather technical, environmental, and personnel details from SMEs to help with the assessment of the entire threat landscape. You’ll learn how to guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, white papers, and milestones and help translate security concepts so they can make the best decisions to secure their critical infrastructure. This is your opportunity to build experience in a strategic information security role while developing skills in cybersecurity assessments. Work with us as we protect our nation’s cyber infrastructure.
