The Opportunity: 

As a cyber professional, you understand that identifying adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures is essential to producing the intelligence that drives mission success. At Booz Allen, you can apply your skills and experience to shape strategies and help mitigate the most urgent cyber vulnerabilities. Here, you aren’t just interpreting reports, you’re telling the story that informs some of our nation’s most far-reaching cybersecurity decisions.

As a cyber threat specialist on our team, you’ll be trusted to help clients solve complex challenges using advanced tools such as Advana, Splunk, Carbon Black, Tenable, and various EDR platforms. Through penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, risk evaluations, and continuous threat monitoring, you’ll collaborate with multiple stakeholders to identify vulnerabilities and deliver meaningful, actionable recommendations. You’ll help monitor security environments and uncover gaps by viewing systems through the mindset of an adversary.

In this role, you’ll make direct impact by monitoring network environments for emerging threats, analyzing integrated Validated Online Lifecycle Threat (VOLT) reports alongside all-source intelligence, and supporting damage assessment activities to understand adversary capabilities and intent.

Booz Allen is committed to creating an environment where your cyber career can grow — with dedicated mentoring, access to cutting-edge resources, and opportunities to earn in-demand certifications that enhance your expertise.
