Job Summary
Our Partner as a prime contractor to a US Government Customer performs investigations to develop a preliminary diagnosis of the severity of breaches. They provide remote and onsite advanced technical assistance proactive hunting rapid onsite incident response and immediate investigation and resolution using host-based network-based and cloud-based cybersecurity analysis capabilities. Contract personnel provide front line response for digital forensics/incident response (DFIR) and proactively hunting for malicious cyber activity. They are seeking Cyber Network Defense Analysts (CNDA) to support this critical customer mission.
The Computer Network Defense Analyst uses information collected from a variety of sources to monitor network activity and analyze it for evidence of suspicious behavior. Monitoring and analysis are performed to identify and report events that occur or might occur within the network in order to protect information information systems and networks from threats. CNDAs review data collected to analyze cyber events and the network environment to find trends patterns or anomaly correlations that indicate more serious attacks or future threats. The CNDAs will recommend proactive measures to contain the incident. These proactive measurers include but are not limited to identification of intruder local changes/suspect interactions isolation in-depth digital media analysis consultation with law enforcement or counterintelligence organizations development of signatures to detect this malicious behavior and development and deployment of eradication tools.
Hybrid work may be allowed for this role.
Responsibilities
The majority of the CNDAs time (75%) will be spent executing the following tasks:
