Job Description:

The Opportunity:

Are you looking for a threat hunter role, 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. Join our threat detection and response team in performing active threat hunting to assist organizations in recovering from cyber incidents.

We’re looking for CND and CNO specialists who can think like cyber attackers to understand how security measures were circumvented. This is an opportunity to use your analytical skills and gain endpoint detection and response experience to identify indicators of compromise. You will work with incident response analysts engaged in forensic investigations.

You Have:

• Experience with EDR platforms, including Carbon Black, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, or Defender for Endpoint
• Experience with network- and host-based intrusion analysis, digital forensics, or handling malware
• Experience with hunt teams, cyber threat intelligence, incident response, or security operations teams
• Knowledge of security principles, including MITRE framework, threat landscapes, or attacker TTPs
• Knowledge of Microsoft Windows, UNIX, and Mac
• Knowledge of security tools across application, data, network, and endpoint layers
• Ability to leverage research resources for threats, vulnerabilities, and attacker infrastructure
• Ability to identify anomalous behavior on endpoints or network communications
• HS diploma or GED

Nice If You Have:

• Experience with digital forensics on host or network from a malware perspective
• Knowledge of network communications, routing protocols, standards, and internet applications
• Knowledge of system and network policies
• Relevant certifications such as GIAC GREM, GCFA, GNFA, OSCP, OSCE, or similar
