Cyber Mission Specialist

Cyber Mission Specialist

The Opportunity:

As a cyber mission specialist, you understand the value of hunt-forward operations, and you know that battles are won in the grey. At Booz Allen, you can use your cyberspace operations experience to create solutions that will be executed on a worldwide stage. We’re looking for an experienced cyber mission specialist like you to apply your knowledge in network security, risk management, and continuous monitoring to impact our nation’s security.

In this role, you will perform continuous monitoring and authorization reassessment activities for an IaaS or PaaS CSO at the client’s Contractor Network Operations Center. You will perform tasks that include reviewing key artifacts or data such as boundary diagrams, data flow diagrams, configurations, code, container, or application vulnerability scan results, to assist the client with determining the security impact of Cloud Service Provider (CSP) changes, reviewing continuous monitoring monthly executive summaries or reports, helping provide the client evidence of ongoing control effectiveness and flag areas where the CSO’s security posture may be degrading, reviewing CSP-submitted Acceptance of Risk (AOR) and Deviation Requests (DR) such as reviewing CSP or CSO mission impact assessments and mitigation efforts and ensuring the risk is properly documented, and making approval or disapproval recommendations to the client. You’ll provide additional support, including working with a U.S.-based Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) team to conduct quarterly risk review board reviews and conduct annual authorization reassessments of the IaaS or PaaS CSO, underlying cloud infrastructure and services, and supporting infrastructure.

This is an opportunity to use your research and analysis abilities to adequately assess and inform operators and senior leadership or commanders on dynamic adversarial tactics, techniques, and procedures for cloud security. Your role will be vital in the development of operation plans to support command and control.  

If you want to be in the fight, working shoulder to shoulder with our cybersecurity teams influencing the most critical global cyber missions, this is the opportunity for you.
