Cybersecurity Analyst

The Challenge:

When our country's cybersecurity is on the line, simply reacting is not enough - we need a plan. And when that plan needs to protect our nation's data, we need strategic policy development. That's why we need you, a cybersecurity continuous monitoring specialist with the skills to analyze the policies that determine our cyber resilience.

As a cyber strategic planning and policy consultant on our team, you'll help review the client's current cyber policies, the coverage of those policies, and areas of risks. You'll analyze and assess how policies stack up to regulations, best practices, and industry standards. As you guide your client through understanding acceptable risk and availability, you'll help develop a strategic cyber roadmap. You'll work with the client to help them operate securely as they navigate an evolving IT environment. Join us as we protect our national defense networks and data through strategic cyber policy analysis. This position is a hybrid role with a combination of working at a Booz Allen office or client site and working remotely.
