Cybersecurity Operations Center Lead

The Opportunity:

As a security operations center 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 a Tier 2 SOC analyst like you to help us secure critical infrastructure from the constant onslaught of cyber attacks for the US Army. 

On our SOC team, you’ll oversee efforts to find the advanced threats that are escaping detection, by analyzing logs, forensic data, and threat intelligence. Using your deep understanding of your client’s networks combined with your cyber security experience, you’ll analyze patterns to understand attackers’ goals and stop them from succeeding. Once your team finds the adversary, you’ll advise on ways to close the gaps and harden the client's network.

Let’s outsmart malicious actors and secure the US Army.
