Classified Systems Cybersecurity Engineer, Lead

Classified Systems Cybersecurity Engineer, Lead

Key Role: 

Conduct and review technical security assessments of computing environments to identify points of vulnerability, non-compliance with established Information Assurance (IA) standards and regulations and recommend mitigation strategies. Validate and verify system security requirement definitions, establishing system security designs. Design, develop, implement, and integrate IA security systems and system components, including those for networking, computing, and enclave environments with multiple enclaves and differing data protection or classification requirements. Build IA into systems deployed to operational environments. Assist architects and systems developers in the identification and implementation of information security functionality to ensure uniform application of security policies and enterprise solutions. Support the building of security architectures. Enforce the design and implementation of trusted relations among external systems and architectures. Plan, implement, manage, monitor, and upgrade security measures to protect data, systems, and networks. Assess and mitigate system security threats and risks throughout the engineering and program life cycle. Contribute to the security planning, assessment, risk analysis, risk management, certification, and awareness activities for system and networking operations. Review certification and accreditation documentation, providing feedback on completeness and compliance of its content. Apply system security engineering expertise in information domain, cross domain solutions, commercial off-the-shelf and government off-the-shelf cryptography, system integration, intrusion detection, contingency planning, configuration control, certification and accreditation process, and principles of IA such as confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, availability, and access control. Ensure all IT systems are managed, controlled, and updated in a manner consistent with both Booz Allen and required regulatory policies, procedures, and requirements. Support security authorization activities in compliance with the DoD Risk Management Framework (RMF), NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) process, and prescribed business processes for security engineering.
