Cybersecurity Analyst / Information Systems Security Officer (ISSO)

Lyntris is a defense technology company that connects sensing to action across the connected battlespace. Lyntris brings together the talents of Accelint and Vitesse teams under one mission, with each contributing deep expertise within their domain. Combining differentiated hardware, software and mission expertise, Lyntris helps customers sense threats, make sense of complex conditions and act with greater speed, precision and confidence in contested environments.  

Lyntris supports U.S. and allied defense organizations across every branch — including Navy, Army, Air Force, Space Force and allied partners — spanning strategic, operational and tactical missions and every domain: Space, Air, Land, Sea and Cyber. With more than 200 active defense programs, Lyntris works at every level of the mission, from national command authority to the tactical edge. 

Solutions are designed by operators who understand the mission, engineered for the conditions that degrade or defeat standard systems, and built on an open, modular architecture that integrates into existing programs without requiring them to start over. Lyntris moves faster than the traditional defense cycle — with integrated design, build and test capabilities in-house — and delivers systems that sustain and endure long after initial fielding.

• Collaborate with engineers, ISSMs, program managers, ISEAs, and government stakeholders to integrate cybersecurity requirements into system design, development, testing, fielding, and sustainment activities.
• Support configuration management, change control, software baseline management, vulnerability scanning, and modernization initiatives to maintain authorization readiness and mitigate cybersecurity risks.
• Prepare status reports, risk assessments, and recommendations for leadership while driving process improvements and automation initiatives that enhance RMF execution and cybersecurity program efficiency.

• Experience supporting Department of the Navy, NAVWAR, SPAWAR, or other DoD cybersecurity programs.
• Familiarity with VRAM, DADMS, DITPR-DON, Configuration Management, Continuous Monitoring, Security Control Assessments, and vulnerability management programs.
