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 you-an information security risk specialist 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 the Department of the Air Force to discover their cyber risks, understand applicablepolicies, and develop a mitigation plan. You’ll review technical and risk details to assess the entire threat landscape. Then, you’ll guide your customers through a plan of action with presentations, white papers, or milestones.

You’ll work with your customers to translate security concepts, so they can make the best decisions to secure their mission-critical systems.

Work with us as we protect our military's weapons systems.
