Systems Security Analyst
The Opportunity:

As a systems security analyst, you're in the middle of the action, responding to and mitigating threats in real time. You're the first line of cyber defense for your organization, and they look to you for guidance on best practices and security measures. We need an analyst like you to help us secure critical infrastructure from the constant onslaught of cyber attacks.

As an analyst on our team, you'll monitor system activity for security breaches and anomalies, analyze logs and alerts to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities, and conduct regular security assessments and audits of systems and applications.

You'll work with the team to understand, mitigate, and respond to threats quickly, restoring operations and limiting the impact. You'll guide efforts to figure out just how many systems are affected and assist recovery efforts. You'll combine threat intelligence, event data, and assessments from recent events, and identify patterns to understand attackers' goals to stop them from succeeding. This is a great opportunity to hone your cyber security skills with hands-on experience in threat assessment and incident response.

Work with us as we secure the Army enterprise network from malicious actors.
