Network Engineer (Splunk)

What will you do

Description

Warnings about cyber threats are everywhere and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming to the intelligence community. 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 systems security officer on our team, you’ll use your experience to work with government agencies to discover their cyber risks, understand policies, and develop a mitigation plan. You’ll review technical, environmental, and personnel details from mission system owners 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. This is your opportunity to act as an information security subject matter expert while broadening your skills in offensive cyber efforts.

Join us as we protect our nation’s cyber infrastructure.
