Cyber Threat Hunt and Pursuit Analyst

The Opportunity:

Are you looking for an active role in detecting advanced cyber threats to critical infrastructure? Instead of letting the attackers come to us, let’s go find them. Cyber threats are evolving, and perimeter security and automated protection aren’t enough, it’s time to go threat hunting.

We’re looking for CND and CNO specialists who can think like cyber attackers to figure out how to circumvent security measures. You’ll use your network defense experience and analytical skills to rapidly prototype and build scripts to create haystacks and sift through the false positives to find patterns and indicators.

With your technical expertise, you’ll build creative solutions to help your customers meet their toughest challenges. This is a chance to think differently about cyber defense, use completely new tools and approaches, and develop the next generation of security analytics.

Join us. The world can’t wait.

You Have:

• 15+ years of experience with information assurance or cyber security
• 5+ years of experience supporting cyber operations with documented cyber training
• Experience with the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) and using intelligence to support cyber defense and mitigation work
