Job Description

Salary: $85,150 - 153,925 per year Requirements:

• We require candidates to hold an active DoD Top Secret clearance. A bachelor’s degree with four years of relevant experience is expected; however, relevant cyber courses or certifications, as well as experience with DISA customers, may be considered in place of a degree. Candidates must have a current DoD 8570 IAT Level II Certification (for example, Security+ CE) or higher by the time they start. Additionally, a current DoD 8570 CSSP Analyst Certification (such as CEH or CySA) is necessary, or candidates must be able to obtain this certification within 180 days of commencing. We are looking for individuals who have experience performing CND duties, including Protect, Defend, Respond, and Sustain, and who have worked with DoD and Government Leaders at various levels. Strong knowledge of computing systems, particularly networking and communication protocols, as well as familiarity with common security elements like IDS/IPS systems and firewalls, is required. Experience evaluating packet captures is also essential.

Responsibilities:

• In this role, you will collaborate closely with our Government counterparts to provide guidance within the CND-SP domain. Your responsibilities include generating CND reports, analyzing trends, responding to incidents, providing mitigation strategies, and disseminating pertinent information. You will offer support for command and control and situational awareness while providing leadership for all CND-related activities within the Protect, Detect, Respond, and Sustain framework. Acting as a technical leader within the CSSP Team, you will safeguard the integrity and security of enterprise-wide systems and networks. You will also lead technical initiatives within CND teams as they pursue security initiatives through both predictive and reactive analyses, clearly communicating emerging trends to leadership and staff. Your responsibilities will involve detecting computer network incidents, monitoring security tools, investigating alerts, and crafting recommendations for actions, including mitigation strategies when necessary. You will conduct analyses of low-level events to identify unauthorized activities and perform near real-time event triage and analysis. Formal monitoring policies will guide your use of DoD-approved network monitoring tools to identify suspicious or malicious network traffic continuously. Timely log reviews will be conducted to detect intrusions and report activities to Mission Partners formally. You will also develop and optimize countermeasures to mitigate potential cyber event impacts where applicable, perform network traffic analyses, and document all actions in a ticketing system.

Technologies:

• Network
• Perl
• Python
• Security
• Splunk
• ASP.NET

More:

We value strong technical writing and communication skills, as documentation of events, including associated analyses, must be clear and accessible in our ticketing system. Regular face-to-face interactions are necessary, and significant coordination and communication among team members are essential to our success. Preferred qualifications include command line scripting skills in PERL, Python, or shell scripting to automate analysis tasks, knowledge of hacker tactics, and familiarity with computing security frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and the Cyber Kill Chain. Experience in monitoring intrusion detection systems and analyzing alerts from tools like Splunk and Elastic is advantageous, as is an understanding of advanced threat actor tactics and the ability to analyze packed and obfuscated code.

We aim to maintain a flexible schedule as we support 24/7 operations, with shift assignments based on both individual preferences and contract requirements. We look forward to welcoming dedicated candidates to our Network Assurance Team in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The pay range for this position is $85,150.00 - $153,925.00, and this is a general guideline subject to change based on factors such as job responsibilities, education, experience, and other relevant considerations.
