Work you’ll do

Seeking an Exploitation Analyst to support in intelligence functions, analytics, and cyber investigations and operations. Analysts will be assigned to a variety of core analytical tasks or projects. Exploitation Analysts have many of the same skills of DNEAs, but their primary mission is enabling computer network exploitation. In addition to maintaining DNEA-level understanding of adversary networks, exploitation analysts have to understand network defenses and vulnerabilities in relation to available exploitation capabilities in order to create exploitation plans and make operational adjustments as the plan is executed.

In this role you will:

* Apply data and technical expertise to perform file signature analysis, real-time forensic analysis, and report intelligence-derived significant network events and intrusions
* Conduct research and analysis at the operational or strategic level
* Communicate your assessments in operational- or strategic-level analytic intelligence products and through oral briefings
* Threat analysis includes assessments identifying and describing threat actors, activities, platforms, and targets—as well as how they interact—and providing an understanding of the presence, intent, and capabilities of the identified threats
