This is an exciting opportunity for individuals early in their Information Assurance career who want to strengthen governance, risk, and compliance capabilities and contribute to the development of new and improved cybersecurity services.

• Familiarity with major cloud technologies and practical experience with at least one platform such as Azure or AWS.
• A collaborative approach and willingness to work with others to achieve common goals.
• Awareness of information security standards and good practices (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST).
• Understanding of how security management systems are designed and operated.
• Experience supporting threat and vulnerability management activities.
• Ability to review and assess security controls to understand their effectiveness in reducing risk.

Set yourself apart if you can demonstrate:

• Building positive working relationships with colleagues and stakeholders in security related roles.
• Contributing to the drafting or improvement of security policies and processes.
• Supporting the delivery of security assurance activities for projects or systems.
• Keeping up to date with emerging security threats, trends, and technologies.
