Information System Security Engineer

The Opportunity

As a cyber professional, you know that understanding adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures is vital to producing the intel that enables the success of Department of Defense (DoD) AF clients. At Booz Allen, you can apply your skills and knowledge to inform strategies and help mitigate the most pressing vulnerabilities. Here, you aren’t just deciphering reports, you’re telling the story to play a part in informing our national cyber defense DoD clients with in-depth expert analysis and response to ensure and enhance the cybersecurity posture and most far-reaching cybersecurity decisions.

In the cyber threat specialist role on our team, you’ll be trusted to help customers solve problems using the latest software like Elastic, offering near real‑time search and analytics capabilities. Using vulnerability assessments, risk assessments, and threat monitoring, you’ll work with multiple DoD stakeholders to evaluate risk and make meaningful recommendations. You’ll help monitor security environments and identify security gaps through the eyes of an adversary.

You’ll aid in the design, engineering, and integration of security solutions into enterprise systems with a strong emphasis on incident response readiness. This role ensures that cybersecurity capabilities are embedded into architecture, aligned with NIST SP 800‑53 Rev 5, RMF, and organizational mission requirements.

Booz Allen is committed to creating an environment where you can grow your cyber career through mentoring, the opportunity to leverage new resources, and the ability to gain in‑demand certifications to sharpen your skill set. With opportunities supporting both the private and public sectors across multiple geographies, your career is only limited by your own appetite for exploration.
