Cyber Threat Analyst I

Description

The Cyber Threat Analyst I will be responsible for ensuring that ACA's IT systems and underlying infrastructure are implemented and managed securely. In order to accomplish this, you are expected to take the initiative to independently learn and understand ACA's operations, people, and systems. Our InfoSec team is expected to be fully engaged with IT and the business and avoid any notion of needing to "be brought the information" or "chuck things over the wall" to other departments. A Cyber Threat Analyst 1 will only be successful based on how well they know and understand ACA's operations, people, and systems.
