Cyber Threat Analyst
The Opportunity:
As a cyber threat analyst, you know the key to detecting and deterring malicious activity is quality risk-based intel that maps to a tactical behavior. At Booz Allen, you can apply your expertise to investigate the most pressing cyber threats impacting the Department of Defense. This is your chance to take on the adversary’s perspective, identify their motivations, and recommend ways to harden systems, reduce their attack surface, and thwart malicious actors.
As a cyber threat analyst on our team, you’ll collect, document, assess, and analyze raw cyber threat information using tools and technologies to enrich intelligence. You’ll conduct strategic assessments on systems and networks and provide tactical analyses and influential recommendations for network operation. You’ll be the key to discovering and correlating timely threat intel and deciphering what represents a real risk, and you’ll play an active role in incident analysis, adversarial research, packet analysis, dynamic malware analysis, and finished intelligence products to inform policy makers, cyber operators, and mission area leadership.
Cyber threats are evolving. Booz Allen is committed to creating an environment where you not only keep pace with the industry but propel it forward. With access to academic programs, certifications, and opportunities to use expert tradecraft, we’ll continuously invest in you so you can create the career you want as you grow.
