Information Security Risk Specialist, Lead

Job Number: R0245539

About the role

Cyber threats are everywhere, and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming to our Space and Military Intelligence clients. In all of this “cyber noise,” you’ll help these organizations understand their risks and how to mitigate them. As a lead information security risk specialist, you’ll break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.

You’ll work with Federal Government clients leading the discovery of their cyber risks, understanding applicable policies, and developing a mitigation plan. You’ll oversee the analysis of technical and personnel details from Scientists, Researchers, and Information Security SMEs as your team reviews the entire threat landscape. Then, you’ll guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, white papers, and milestones. Your client will rely on you to translate security concepts so they can make the best decisions to secure their Critical Infrastructure and Mission Critical Systems.

This is your opportunity to take a leadership role in information security while sharing your skills in Cyber Security with both your clients and your team. Work with us as we protect the most sophisticated global enterprises as well as our nation's cyber infrastructure.
