Information Security Risk Specialist

Information Security Risk Specialist 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 an information security risk specialist like you who will break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.

As an information security risk specialist on our team, you’ll use your experience to work with senior leaders to discover their cyber risks, understand applicable policies, and develop a mitigation plan. You’ll review technical and personnel details from our tenants to assess the entire threat landscape. Then, you’ll guide our tenants through a plan of action with presentations, whitepapers, and milestones.

You’ll work with cloud architects, cybersecurity teams, GRC, networking, platform engineering, and tenant teams to make security controls repeatable and usable. You’ll help ensure that users receive the right platform, understand the controls they inherit, and know what remains their responsibility.

This is your opportunity to apply cloud-security expertise while expanding your skills in secure platform engineering, AWS GovCloud, IL5 environments, Infrastructure-as-Code, control inheritance, and enterprise-scale cloud transformation.
