The Opportunity:
When our country’s cybersecurity is on the line, simply reacting is not enough, we need a plan. And when that plan needs to support our defense systems, we need strategic policy development. That’s why we need a strategic planning and policy development specialist like you with the expertise required to analyze the policies that determine our cyber resilience.
As a cyber strategic planning and policy development specialist on our team, you’ll lead the assessment of current cyber policies, the coverage of those policies, and areas of risks. You’ll evaluate how policies stack up to regulations, best practices, and industry standards. As you guide your client through understanding acceptable risk and availability, you’ll advance the development of a strategic cyber roadmap. You’ll work to ensure the client operates securely as they navigate an evolving IT environment.
Work with us as we secure our nation’s critical systems through strategic cyber policy development.
