Collaborate with mixed-matrixed or multi-discipline teams across the agency in cybersecurity-related decision-making, providing guidance and oversight in the implementation of improvements. Develop/integrate cybersecurity designs for systems and networks with multilevel security requirements or requirements for the processing of multiple classification levels of data. Document and address organization's information security, cybersecurity cloud architecture, and systems security engineering requirements throughout the acquisition life cycle. Ensure that acquired or developed system(s) and architecture(s) are consistent with organization's cybersecurity cloud architecture guidelines. Identify and prioritize critical business functions in collaboration with organizational stakeholders by performing security reviews, identifying gaps in security architecture, and developing security risk management plans and system security plans. Evaluate cloud security architectures and designs to determine the adequacy of security design and architecture proposed or provided in response to requirements contained in acquisition documents. Monitor IT security related websites, newsgroups, organizations and publications. Determine the protection needs (i.e., security controls) for the information system(s) and network(s) and document them appropriately. Work under minimal supervision, with extensive latitude for the use of initiative and independent judgment. Work may involve occasional travel to other locations/work sites to perform TWC services. After hours support may be required to respond to security incidents. Perform other duties as assigned to maintain operations.
