The Opportunity:  

Cyber threats are everywhere, and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming to government agencies.

You’ll gather technical, environmental, and personnel details from SMEs to help with the assessment of the entire threat landscape. You’ll learn how to guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, white papers, and milestones and help to translate security concepts so they can make the best decisions to secure their critical infrastructure. This is your opportunity to build experience in a strategic information security role while developing skills in cybersecurity assessments. Work with us as we protect our nation’s cyber infrastructure.
