Incident Response Threat Hunter

Incident Response Threat Hunter

The Opportunity:

Are you looking for a threat hunter role in detecting cyber threats, in support of active forensic investigations? Cyber threats are evolving, when perimeter security and automated protection aren’t enough networks are compromised, information is accessed, data is exfiltrated, backups are wiped and ransomware is deployed locking up an entire organization.

We’re looking for CND and CNO specialists who can think like a cyber attacker to figure out how security measures were circumvented by threat actors. This is an opportunity to use your analytical skills and gain endpoint detection and response experience to identify indicators of compromise. You will work in concert with incident response analysts actively engaged in forensic investigations resulting from network compromises and ransomware deployment. Due to the nature of work performed within this facility, U.S. citizenship is required.
