Booz Allen Hamilton

Information Security Risk Specialist, Senior

The Opportunity: 

Cyber threats are everywhere, and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming to the DoD. 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 system engineers, system administrators, integrated project team leads, and system support agents to discover their cyber risks, understand policies, and develop a mitigation plan. You’ll review technical, environmental, and personnel details from engineers and subject matter experts to assess the entire threat landscape. Then, you’ll guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, white papers, and milestones. You’ll work with your client to translate security concepts, so they can make the best decisions to secure their mission critical systems and critical infrastructure. This is your opportunity to act as an information security subject matter expert while broadening your skills in areas such as Cloud computing, cyber security, and cyber compliance. Work with us as we protect our nation's cyber infrastructure and critical systems.
