About the role

The Opportunity:  

Warnings about cyber threats are everywhere and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming to our clients. In all of this “cyber noise”, how can these organizations understand their risks and how to mitigate them? The answer is you – build your knowledge as an Information Security Risk Specialist who knows how to break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.

As an Information Security Risk Specialist on our team, you’ll work with our government clients to discover their cyber risks, understand applicable policies, and develop a mitigation plan.
