Cybersecurity Engineer
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 you, an information security risk specialist who will break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.

As a CyberSecurity Engineer on our team, you'll use your experience to support SOUTHCOM in conducting security reviews of network diagrams and topologies, architecture diagrams, and associated Risk Management Framework (RMF) artifacts to proactively discover security issues prior to implementation. You'll discover their cyber risks, understand applicable policies, and develop a mitigation plan. You'll review technical documentation and artifacts to assess a system and network for potential security issues, document potential courses of action to support resolution, and submit findings to the appropriate party. 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, develop technical briefs for senior leaders and executives that can explain complex technical information concisely and accurately. You'll also collect information or intelligence necessary to conduct the full scale of your responsibilities as an information security subject matter expert.
