Summary and company overview

Cybersecurity Risk Analyst

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 a Cybersecurity Risk Analyst to help break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.

As a Cybersecurity Risk Analyst on our team, you’ll work with Navy programs to discover their cyber risks, understand applicable policies, and develop a mitigation plan. You’ll get technical, environmental, and personnel details from stakeholders, engineers, and SMEs to assess the entire threat landscape. Then, you’ll help your team guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, white papers, and milestones.

You’ll work on translating security concepts for your client so they can make the best decisions to secure their mission-critical networks and systems. This is your opportunity to take an active role in information security while growing your skills in cybersecurity, security and network tools, systems engineers, artificial intelligence, and data science.

Work with us as we protect our military's cybersecurity posture.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
