It
is the mission of the Central Intelligence Agency to provide timely, reliable,
and valuable information to the President of the United States and national policy
makers. The Office of Security supports the CIA’s mission by providing a comprehensive,
worldwide security program that protects CIA personnel, information, facilities,
programs and activities, and technical capabilities. Security professionals progress through a
system of formal and informal training and developmental assignments that
expose them to a wide variety of security disciplines including personnel
security, physical and technical security, and information assurance.
The CIA Office of Security is seeking entry level to full
performance level Security Professionals in the Multi-disciplined Security

careerists must be highly organized, analytic, enjoy working with others, and be
willing to move into new skills building assignments every 2-3 years. While the interests of an individual are
taken into consideration when job assignments are made, MDSO careerists must be

different positions. Positions in the
MDSO occupation include: polygraph examiner, background investigator (for

computer forensics investigator, clearance adjudication (analytic) and
counterintelligence analyst. MDSO careerists
have the opportunity to deploy to other offices within the CIA or be assigned
to other US Government Agencies to support their security requirements. MDSO careerists also have the opportunity to
be assigned to resource management jobs such as plans, program management, and
finance. Domestic and overseas positions
are available within this occupation.
