We’re looking for a Cyber Tools Assessor who can create solutions for the Government that will withstand even the most advanced cyber threats. As a Cyber Tools Assessor, you’ll detect, evaluate, and document the security configuration of developmental and operational tools, security impacts, and make improvement recommendations. You’ll coordinate work with in-house teams, subcontractors, and vendors to identify the right mix of tools and techniques to translate your customer’s IT needs and future goals into a plan that will enable secure and effective solutions.

You’ll lead the team through a critical approach to network design, providing alternatives and customizing solutions, to maintain a balance of security and mission needs.

As an information security risk specialist on our team, you’ll consult the client leading the discovery of their cyber risks, understanding applicable policies, and developing a mitigation plan. You’ll oversee the analysis of technical, environmental, and personnel details from technical subject matter experts and engineers as your team reviews the entire threat landscape. Then, you’ll guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, white papers, and milestones. Your client will rely on you to translate security concepts, so they can make the best decisions to secure their mission critical systems. This is your opportunity to take a leadership role in information security while sharing your skills in cloud technologies with both clients and your team.
