Alpharetta, United States Sierra-Cedar Full time

Security is tough. Trying to get users to do the right thing, trying to get software developers to write better code, trying to explain for the thirty-eighth time the control the auditors want you to implement isn't supported in the application you're using are all run of the mill obstacles. And that's just Monday morning before you've been able to sit down and review your IDS and SIEM alerts, do forensics on a couple PC's you're curious about, or review the outbound firewall policies you meant to get to last week.

At Sierra-Cedar, we've got some difficult challenges and need your help to solve them. We're looking for someone who not only embraces those challenges but has the tenacity and finesse to pull it off spectacularly. Think you're good with security now? We'll challenge you to be better. If that statement makes your heart beat a little faster, then yes, you're fit to be one of us.
