Communications Security Technical Expert
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 secure communications for the federal government and defense, we need strategic policy development. That’s why we need you, a communication security specialist with the expertise required to guide a team analyzing the policies that determine our cyber resilience.
As a cyber strategic planning and policy development consultant on our team, you’ll oversee staff working on the assessment of DoD and federal government communication technology and current cyber policies, the coverage of those policies, and areas of risks relevant to that technology. You’ll evaluate how policies stack up to regulations, best practices, and industry standards. As you guide your client through understanding acceptable risk and availability, you’ll lead the team in the development of a strategic cyber roadmap. You’ll work with the client to ensure they operate securely as they navigate an evolving IT environment.
Work with us as we secure our nation's communication technology through strategic cyber policy development.
