The Opportunity: 
As a cyber threat intel analyst, you know the key to detecting and deterring malicious activity is quality risk-based intel that maps to a tactical behavior. At Booz Allen, you can apply your skills and experience to help investigate the most pressing cyber threats impacting the National Security sector.

You’ll help conduct strategic assessments on systems and networks and provide tactical analyses and influential recommendations for network operation. You’ll be the key to discovering and correlating timely threat intel and deciphering what represents a real risk, and you’ll play an active role in incident analysis, adversarial research, packet analysis, dynamic malware analysis, and finished intelligence products to inform policymakers, cyber operators, and mission area leadership.
