Between validation events, you will serve as the cybersecurity subject matter expert to ensure software applications developed by G2 Ops meet DoD/DON security requirements, mentor and train other Navy Validators at G2 Ops, and assist other security engineers (ISSEs and ISSOs) in performance of their duties.
