Cyber Security Engineer

Cyber Security Engineer

The Opportunity:  

Everyone knows security needs to be “baked in” to a system architecture—you actually know how to bake it in. You can identify and implement ways to harden systems and reduce their attack surface. What if you could use your cyber engineering skills to design and develop secure systems for the client? We’re looking for an engineer who can help create solutions that will withstand even the most advanced cyber threats. 

As a Cyber Security Engineer at Booz Allen, you’ll ensure that the risk management framework for the client is secured to meet the command's needs. You’ll work with your team and other organizations to identify the right mix of tools and techniques to translate your client’s needs and goals into a plan that will enable secure and effective solutions. We need to come up with the best solutions, so you’ll investigate new techniques, break free from the legacy model, and go where the industry is going. As a team, we’ll take a critical approach to network design, providing alternatives and customizing solutions to maintain a balance of security and mission needs. Work with us as we improve the client's training environment through cyber security. 

Join us. The world can’t wait.
