The Challenge:

Warnings about 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 these organizations understand their risks and how to mitigate them? The answer is you – an information security risk specialist who will break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.

As a cyber-compliance and risk management consultant on our team, you’ll work with Program Manager Tactical Network (PM TN) to evaluate and discover their cyber risks, understand applicable policies, and develop mitigation plans. Under the direction of the Cyber Security & Assurance (CS&A) team, your role as the Information System Security Officer (ISSO) will be to work with various business teams to assess risk and validate that the appropriate security controls are in place for PM TN information systems and that they are working effectively and efficiently. You’ll get technical, environmental, and personnel details from engineers to assess the entire threat landscape. Then, you’ll help your team guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, whitepapers, and milestones. You’ll work on translating security concepts for your client so they can make the best decisions to secure their mission critical systems and critical infrastructure.

As the expert in risk and security controls, you will provide consulting services and education to the organization's management and staff by taking an active role in cybersecurity while also growing your skills in Risk Management Framework. Join us as we protect our military’s communications systems.
