The Challenge:

Are you looking for an active role in detecting advanced cyber threats that are the highest concern to the most important commercial companies? 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 cyber security professionals with experience in Incident Response, Cyber Threat Intelligence, or Detection and Response, who can think like an adversary. This is an opportunity to use your analytical skills and gain network defense experience. Learn from our team of cyber security experts as you find the adversary in the SIEM’s blind spot to help the top Fortune 500 companies close the gaps and harden their network. This is a chance to think differently about cyber defense, use completely new tools and approaches, and develop the next generation of security analytics. Let’s outsmart the adversary and protect the most important companies in the commercial space. This position is open to remote delivery anywhere within the U.S., to include the District of Columbia.
