The House of Representatives is in the market for a new chief information security officer (CISO) to lead the legislative chamber’s cybersecurity efforts on behalf of its 10,000 members, staff, and officers.
According to a job posting on USAJOBS, the CISO will be responsible for leading, implementing, and operating the House cybersecurity program; as well as maintaining and updating a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy that ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the House’s information systems and resources.
