Information System Security Officer

Information System Security Officer

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 an information security risk specialist like you who will break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.  

As an information security risk specialist on our team, you’ll use your experience to work with information system owners, system administrators, cybersecurity risk managers, and authorizing officials to discover their cyber risks and develop a mitigation plan. You’ll review technical, environmental, and personnel details supporting the information system to assess the entire threat landscape. Then, you’ll support the development of mitigations, document risks, and continually assess system risk. You’ll work with your client to translate security concepts so they can make the best decisions to secure their information systems and reduce their attack surface. This is your opportunity to act as an information security subject matter expert while broadening your skills in the risk management framework, operational technology, and mission system cybersecurity.
