Job Description
Information Security Risk Specialist
The Opportunity:
Cyber threats are everywhere, and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming. In all of this "cyber noise," how can these organizations understand their risks and how to mitigate them? The answer is an information security risk spe cia list like you who will break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.
As an Information Security Risk Spe cia list on our team, you'll use your experience to work with our team's and client's subject matter experts to provide cybersecurity and privacy analysis throughout the security assessment and compliance lifecycle process. You'll review technical details from product designers, client subject matter experts, and organizational partners to assess the entire threat landscape. You will plan and develop continuous monitoring of cybersecurity and privacy policies , programs, compliance artifacts, and standards in support of security governance and industry security compliance, systems accreditation, and management. Then, you'll work with your team to guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, white papers, and milestones.
You'll work with your team translating security concepts so the client can make the best decisions to secure their tools, data, and interconnections to partners. This is your opportunity to become an information security subject matter expert while broadening your skills. You will help build Booz Allen's vulnerability management capability and service offerings while supporting critical client missions. This position is located in Albuquerque, NM.
