Solutions3 LLC
Title: Cyber Network Defense Analyst
Solutions³ LLC is supporting our prime contractor and their U.S. Government customer on a large mission critical development and sustainment program for on and offsite incident response to Government agencies and critical infrastructure owners who experience cyber-attacks. Solutions³ LLC provides remote and onsite advanced technical assistance, proactive hunting, rapid onsite incident response, and immediate investigation, using host-based, network-based, and cloud-based cybersecurity analysis capabilities.
Solutions³ LLC is seeking a Cyber Network Defense Analyst (CNDA) to support this critical mission by providing front line response for digital forensics/incident response (DFIR) and proactively hunting for malicious cyber activity.
The CNDA will use 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, to protect information, information systems, and networks from threats.
Eligibility
Must be a
US Citizen
Must have an
active TS/SCI clearance
Must be able to obtain DHS Suitability prior to starting employment
2+ years of directly relevant experience in cyber defense analysis using leading edge technologies and industry standard cyber defense tools
Responsibilities Include
Characterize and analyze network traffic to identify anomalous activity and potential threats to network resources
Coordinate with enterprise-wide cyber defense staff to validate network alerts
Document and escape incidents (including event's history, status, and potential impact for further action) that may cause ongoing and immediate impact to the environment
Perform cyber defense trend analysis and reporting
Perform event correlation using information gathered from a variety of sources within the enterprise to gain situational awareness and determine the effectiveness of an observed attack
Provide daily summary reports of network events and activity relevant to cyber defense practices
Receive and analyze network alerts from various sources within the enterprise and determine possible causes of alerts
Provide timely detection, identification, and alerting of possible attacks/intrusions, anomalous activities, and misuse activities and distinguish these incidents and events from benign activities
Use cyber defense tools for continual monitoring and analysis of system activity to identify malicious activity
Analyze identified malicious activity to determine weaknesses exploited, exploitation methods, effects on system and information
Identify and analyze anomalies in network traffic using metadata
Validate intrusion detection system alerts against network traffic using packet analysis tools
Identify applications and operating systems of a network device based on network traffic
Reconstruct a malicious attack or activity based off network traffic
Identify network mapping and operating system (OS) fingerprinting activities
Assist in the construction of signatures which can be implemented on cyber defense network tools in response to new or observed threats within the network environment or enclave
Required Skills
Experience successfully developing and deploying signatures
Experience detecting host and network-based intrusions via intrusion detection technologies (e.g., Snort)
Experience implementing incident handling methodologies
Experience implementing protocol analyzers
Experience collecting data from a variety of cyber defense resources
Experience reading and interpreting signatures (e.g. snort)
Experience performing packet-level analysis
Experience conducting trend analysis
Desired Skills
Python programming experience
Strong math and science background
Experience with Carnegie Mellon SiLK tool suite
Desired Certifications
One or more of the following professional certifications: GNFA, GCIH, GCIA, GSEC, CASP+, CySA+, PaLMS, FedVTE
GSEC (SANS401), Arcsight (or other SEIM solution), Network+, Security+
Required Education BS Computer Science, Cyber Security, Computer Engineering, or related degree; or HS Diploma and 4+ years of network investigations experience
