Job Description

CyberSheath Services International LLC is a rapidly growing Security and IT Managed Services Provider primarily focused on providing Cybersecurity services to the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). We are excited to be expanding our staff due to our growth and are looking to add a Cyber Security Analyst to our Security Operations team!

CyberSheath integrates compliance and threat mitigation efforts and eliminates redundant security practices that don't improve and, in fact, may weaken an organization's security posture. Our professionals tell clients where to stop spending, where to invest, and how to take what they are already doing and integrate it in a way that delivers improved security.

Successful candidates for CyberSheath are self-motivated, think out of the box, work, and solve issues independently. Additionally, our most successful people are self-starters and willing to put on many hats in order to succeed. CyberSheath is fast-growing and seeks candidates who want to be part of our upward trajectory.
