The Opportunity:
Cyber threats are everywhere, and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming to the Department of Defense (DoD). 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 can break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.
As an Information Systems Security Engineer on our team, you’ll advise for the DoD, leading the discovery of their cyber risks, understanding applicable policies, and developing and implementing a mitigation plan. Your team will oversee the analysis of technical and personnel details from operations and engineers as your team reviews the entire threat landscape. Your team will then guide you through a plan of action with task breakdown.
Your lead will rely on you to translate security concepts to your team members so they can make the best decisions to secure their simulation training network. This is your opportunity to grow your career in information security while sharing your skills in network defense, incident management, and threat analysis with both your clients and your team.
