You will play a central part in maintaining Authority to Operate (ATO) packages, executing RMF processes, safeguarding classified and unclassified systems, supporting Zero Trust implementation, and ensuring cybersecurity readiness across platforms. This is your chance to apply your operational, analytical, and engineering expertise to a mission that directly strengthens the nation’s strategic cyber resilience.
