Alexandria, Virginia, United States

Are you looking for an exciting career? Would you like to help develop technologies that protect our nation and the citizens of the United States? Do you want to work for a company that focuses on its employees work life balance? That provides career advancement, job mobility and continued education?

AG Grace, Inc. is currently recruiting candidates to support our cyberspace mission we need employees in research, development, system engineering and design, information infrastructure, computer and network operations.

Description:
The Information Systems Security Engineer (ISSE) performs, or reviews, technical security assessments of computing environments to identify points of vulnerability, non-compliance with established Information Assurance (IA) standards and regulations, and recommends mitigation strategies. Validates and verifies system security requirements definitions and analysis and establishes system security designs. Designs, develops, implements and integrates IA and security systems and system components including those for networking, computing, and enclave environments to include those with multiple enclaves and with differing data protection/classification requirements. Builds IA into systems deployed to operational environments. Assists architects and systems developers in the identification and implementation of appropriate information security functionality to ensure uniform application of Agency security policy and enterprise solutions. Supports the building of security architectures. Enforces the design and implementation of trusted relations among external systems and architectures. Assesses and mitigates system security threats/risks throughout the program life cycle. Contributes to the security planning, assessment, risk analysis, risk management, certification, and awareness activities for system and networking operations. Reviews Certification and Accreditation (C&A) documentation, providing feedback on completeness and compliance of its content. Applies system security engineering expertise in one or more of the following: system security design process; engineering life cycle; information domain; cross-domain solutions; commercial off- the-shelf and government off-the-shelf cryptography; identification; authentication; authorization; system integration; risk management; intrusion detection; contingency planning; incident handling; configuration control; change management; auditing; certification and accreditation process; principles of IA (e.g., confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, availability, and access control); and security testing. Supports security authorization activities in compliance with NSA/CSS Information System Certification and Accreditation Process (NISCAP) and DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) process, the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) process, and business processes for security engineering.

  • Participate as a security engineering representative on engineering teams for the design, development, implementation, and integration of IA architectures, systems, or system components
  • Participate as the primary security engineering representative on engineering teams for the design, development, implementation, evaluation, and/or integration of secure networking, computing, and enclave environments
  • Participate as the primary security engineering representative on engineering teams for the design, development, implementation, evaluation, and/or integration of IA architectures, systems, or system components
  • Support the Government in the enforcement of the design and implementation of trusted relationships among external systems and architectures
  • Apply knowledge of IA policy, procedures, and workforce structure to design, develop, and implement secure networking, computing, and enclave environments
  • support security planning, assessment, risk analysis, and risk management
  • Identify overall security requirements for the proper handling of Government data
  • Interact with the customer and other project team members
