Information Systems Security Officer

The Opportunity:

Everyone knows security needs to be “baked in” to a system architecture, but you must know how to achieve that. You can identify and implement ways to harden systems and reduce their attack surfaces. Best of all, you know how to use your cybersecurity skills to secure sensitive systems for the federal government.

We’re looking for an Information System Security Officer (ISSO) who can create solutions for the federal government that will stand up to even the most advanced cyber threats.

As an ISSO, you’ll work with Systems Engineers to design, develop, and recommend integrated security system solutions that will ensure proprietary and confidential data and systems are protected. We need to come up with the best solutions, so you’ll coordinate and work with administrators and security personnel to identify and interpret policies, creating an effective plan of action that will enable excellence in systems security. You’ll lead efforts to help customers overcome their most difficult challenges by ensuring secure practices like endpoint-based detection, identity and access management, advanced analytics, and more are properly employed and utilized. As a security expert, you’ll identify new opportunities to use cybersecurity solutions to help your customers meet their toughest challenges.

Become a member of our team as we improve the federal cybersecurity landscape through ingenuity and the latest in cybersecurity best practices.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
