As a cyber professional, you know that understanding adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures is vital to producing the intel that enables the success of Law Enforcement. At Booz Allen, you can apply your skills and broad knowledge to inform strategies and mitigate the most pressing vulnerabilities. Here, you aren’t just deciphering reports.

As a cyber threat specialist on our team, you’ll help customers solve problems using the latest software like Splunk, Carbon Black, Tenable, and SIEM products. Using cyber investigative techniques like threat analysis, malware analysis, and forensics, you’ll work alongside multiple stakeholders to evaluate cyber intelligence and make meaningful recommendations. You’ll monitor security environments and identify security gaps through the eyes of an adversary. In this role, you’ll impact Law Enforcement and Intelligence operations by monitoring adversarial cyber threat activity, evaluating their actions, and collaborating with other information sources to assess capabilities and identify additional vulnerabilities. Booz Allen is committed to creating an environment where you can expand 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.
