Information System Security Officer

Information System Security Officer

The Opportunity:

Warnings about 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 a lead information security risk specialist like you who can break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.  

As an information security risk specialist on our team, you’ll consult for the client leading the discovery of their cyber risks, understanding policies, and developing a mitigation plan. You’ll oversee the analysis of technical, environmental, and personnel details from subject matter experts and engineers as your team reviews the entire threat landscape. Then you’ll guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, whitepapers, and milestones.

Your client will rely on you to translate security concepts so they can make the best decisions to secure their mission-critical systems. This is your opportunity to take a leadership role in information security while sharing your skills in cloud technologies with both your clients and your team.
