The Opportunity:

When our country’s cybersecurity is on the line, simply reacting is not enough, we need a plan. And when that plan needs to protect our nation's cybersecurity infrastructure, we need strategic policy development. That’s why we need a security policy and risk specialist like you with the expertise required to analyze the policies that determine our cyber resilience.

As a cyber strategic planning and policy development specialist on our team, you’ll help review your client's current cyber policies, the coverage of those policies, and areas of risk. You’ll work with the information security office to review risk acceptance requests and assess overall risk, and collaborate with information system stakeholders to develop clear risk acceptance justifications. As you guide your client through understanding acceptable risk and availability, you’ll help develop a strategic cyber roadmap. You’ll work to ensure the client operates securely as they navigate an evolving IT environment. 

Work with us as we secure our nation's critical infrastructure through strategic cyber policy development.
