What is a cybersecurity overlay?

A Cybersecurity Overlay is a tailored set of cybersecurity controls or requirements that are added to a system or network on top of existing security frameworks. These overlays address specific risks, compliance needs, or operational environments that aren't fully covered by general security standards. They help organizations ensure that their cybersecurity measures are appropriately aligned with unique threats or regulatory requirements. For example, overlays are commonly used in government and defense sectors to meet specific mission or data protection needs.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a cybersecurity overlay, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Cybersecurity Overlay, you need a deep understanding of cybersecurity principles, risk management, and enterprise IT environments, often backed by a relevant degree or certifications like CISSP or CISM. Familiarity with security solutions such as firewalls, SIEM tools, and endpoint protection platforms is essential. Exceptional communication, problem-solving, and relationship-building skills help bridge the gap between technical teams and clients or stakeholders. These skills are crucial for effectively identifying risks, recommending solutions, and ensuring robust cybersecurity strategies within organizations.

How does a cybersecurity overlay role typically collaborate with sales and technical teams to support client needs?

A Cybersecurity Overlay professional works closely with both sales and technical teams to ensure that cybersecurity solutions align with client requirements. They often join client meetings to provide subject matter expertise, help design tailored security offerings, and address any technical concerns. This collaboration involves translating complex security concepts for sales staff and customers, as well as working with engineers to ensure proposed solutions are feasible and robust. Success in this role requires strong communication skills and the ability to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Job description

Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Specialist

The Opportunity:

Cyber threats are everywhere, and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming. In all of this "cyber noise", how can these organizations understand their risks and how to mitigate them? The answer is an information security risk specialist like you who will break down complex threats into manageable plans of action.

As an information security risk specialist on our team, you'll use your experience to work with military agencies to discover their cyber risks, understand applicable policies, and develop a mitigation plan. You'll review technical and personnel details from system and mission owners to assess the entire threat landscape. Then, you'll guide your client through a plan of action with presentations, whitepapers, and milestones.

You'll work with your client to translate security concepts, so they can make the best decisions to secure their critical mission data and supporting networks. This is your opportunity to act as an information security subject matter expert while broadening your skills in cross-domain data transfer systems, securing environmental intelligence, and managing cyber risk across all classification levels for DoD data and systems.

Work with us as we protect complex DoD mission data systems.

Join us. The world can't wait.

You Have:

  • 5+ years of experience supporting cybersecurity accreditation, authorization, or compliance activities for federal or classified environments
  • 5+ years of experience with Xacta governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) tools such as Xacta 360 or legacy Xacta IA Manager, including development or maintenance of RMF or authorization packages
  • Experience supporting the full RMF lifecycle, including categorization, control selection and documentation, assessment support, authorization, and continuous monitoring
  • Experience developing and maintaining cybersecurity documentation such as SSPs, control narratives, POA&Ms, contingency documentation, and configuration management documentation
  • Experience working with vulnerability data, compliance results, or evidence to support ongoing authorization and monitoring activities
  • Knowledge of NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 4 or Rev. 5 and general federal cybersecurity control implementation practices
  • Ability to translate technical system architecture, infrastructure design, and operational details into clear compliance documentation
  • TS/SCI clearance
  • HS diploma or GED
  • DoD IAT or IAM II Cybersecurity Workforce Certification such as CompTIA Security+ Certification

Nice If You Have:

  • Experience processing RMF packages in Xacta GRC tools for Department of Navy information systems
  • Experience with cross domain solution (CDS) technologies, configurations, and security mechanisms
  • Experience with Everfox CDS technologies and related authorization or security mechanisms
  • Experience supporting Navy-specific cybersecurity policies, training requirements, systems, or workflows
  • Experience supporting classified cybersecurity documentation in SCI or SCIF environments
  • Knowledge of JWICS security requirements and IC overlay requirements
  • Knowledge of Apache NiFi, including relevant components and configuration considerations
  • Knowledge of NAVINTEL assessment and authorization processes, business rules, or CDS overlay requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Information Systems, CS, Engineering, or a related field

Clearance:

Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; TS/SCI clearance is required.
