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. We need your knowledge as an information security risk specialist to help break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.

You’ll gather technical and personnel details from subject matter experts 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, whitepapers, and milestones, and help to translate security concepts so they can make the best decisions to secure their critical systems.

This is your opportunity to build experience in a strategic information security role while developing skills in cybersecurity.

Work with us as we protect our nation's cyber infrastructure.
