1 Senior Systems Security Analyst from NASA submitted reviews

4.5 I've been working at NASA's management office located at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California for almost 4 years as a government contractor. The project I'm working on is roughly finished which consisted of re-routing the NASA management office network from JPL's internal network directly to NASA HQ in Washington D.C. We accomplished the bulk of by creating a VPN link between HQ and NMO via an IPSEC tunnel from the JPL NMO firewall to the HQ firewall. There still remains some loose ends before the project is completed, which is expected to be in a few months. The idea of the venture is to allow the NMO to operate independently from JPL's network and enjoy corporate benefits as does HQ being that the NMO is a remote facility. In addition to that my other responsibilities included being responsible for the Information Security operations and IT Risk Management programs to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of NASA enterprise information. I did this in part by managing security incidents to protect corporate assets including intellectual property by reporting a framework to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of the information security program.

1 CAD Drafter from NASA submitted reviews

3 Worked for this employer for six months. Unfortunately, it wasn't the most pleasant experience. Facilities weren't up-to-date, technology used was average and projects worked were typical engineering problems, not cutting edge or challenging problems. If you are looking for an employment position working with cutting edge technologies or working with subjects at the top of the research community, this is not for you.
