Develop cyber threat profiles based on geographic region, country, group, or individual actors.
Produce cyber threat assessments using entity threat analysis.
May support computer forensics and intrusion activities for high technology investigations, including evidence seizure, forensic analysis, data recovery, and network assessments.
Research and maintain proficiency in tools, techniques, countermeasures, and trends related to computer network vulnerabilities, data hiding, and network security and encryption.
Collaborate with intrusion analysts to identify, report on, and coordinate remediation of cyberthreats.
Deliver timely and actionable sanitized intelligence to cyber incident response professionals.
Use knowledge of computer systems and networks along with cyber threat information to assess the client’s security posture.
Conduct intelligence analysis of intrusion signatures and tactics, techniques, and procedures tied to preparation for and execution of cyber attacks.
Research hackers, hacker techniques, vulnerabilities, and exploits, and provide detailed briefings and intelligence reports to leadership.
Engineer cybersecurity solutions supporting DoD and Intelligence Community information systems.
Design, implement, and document security controls aligned with NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 and applicable CNSSI 1253 overlays.
Develop security architectures supporting Zero Trust, cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments.
Integrate cybersecurity requirements throughout the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
Support Authority to Operate (ATO), Continuous Authorization (cATO), and Continuous Monitoring (ConMon) initiatives.
Develop and maintain RMF authorization artifacts.
Engineer automated evidence collection and validation processes.
Develop reusable security control implementations and standardized control inheritance strategies.
Support implementation of OSCAL-based RMF automation.
Design and implement AI-assisted capabilities for RMF documentation, evidence management, and compliance analysis.
Develop Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows for cybersecurity documentation.
Implement NLP techniques to analyze RMF artifacts and identify documentation inconsistencies.
Develop machine learning and rule-based models, including human-in-the-loop validation for AI-generated outputs.
Apply Responsible AI principles and AI governance throughout solution development.
Develop automated RMF workflows and integrate cybersecurity controls into CI/CD pipelines.
Implement Security-as-Code and Policy-as-Code capabilities.
Develop dashboards supporting cybersecurity metrics, authorization status, and continuous monitoring.
Integrate automation with eMASS, Xacta, ServiceNow, vulnerability management platforms, and enterprise asset inventories.
Engineer automated collection of cybersecurity evidence supporting continuous monitoring, including security tooling integration.
Develop automated compliance scoring and risk dashboards and provide technical recommendations supporting authorization decisions.
