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 work with AWS to discover cyber risks, understand applicable policies, and develop a mitigation plan. You’ll get technical and personnel details from SMEs and engineers to assess the entire threat landscape. Then, you’ll help your team guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, white papers, and milestones. 

You’ll work with your client to translate security concepts, so they can make the best decisions to secure their intellectual property, critical infrastructure, or mission-critical systems. This is your opportunity to act as an information security subject matter expert while broadening your skills in cloud computing or data science.

Work with us as we protect the most sophisticated global enterprises.
