The Challenge:

Are you looking for an opportunity to see big picture and make a profound impact on the security of Defense critical systems? This is your chance to identify and implement ways to harden systems and reduce their attack surface, supporting our Defense clients in the analysis, engineering, planning, and strategy development related to a threat, analysis, and architecture. You will play a lead role in transforming Cybersecurity in Defense systems. Join our team and help to turn requirements into accomplishments that drive change.

As the Mission Threat Validation team lead, your team will plan, coordinate, execute., and document the results of sophisticated exercise events constructed to test adversarial methods intended to impact functionality of a particular system or component leading to denial, disruption, deception, degradation, or destruction of service. Your team will lead three types of events: Command Post Exercises (CPX), Allied/Partner Exercises, and Lower Echelon Level Events.  The purpose of these events is to demonstrate and assess operational risk to mission. This allows the government partners to prioritize mitigations based on actual, demonstrated mission risks, and leads to addressing the highest priority risks the earliest. 

Join us. The world can’t wait!

You Have:

• 8+ years of experience with the U.S. government on cyber mission planning
