(Cyber) Incident Management Analyst - Weekend Day Shift

Nightwing · Arlington, VA · 3 wk ago
Information Technology$77k–$163k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of Nightwing and mission. We can put an "About the role" section with prose summarizing the role description. Then Responsibilities as
  • . Required Skills as list? The required skills are many bullet-like statements. We can put them in
      . Desired Skills also list. Required Education list. Salary & Benefits: we have salary range and benefits description. Must include Pay and Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. It does state salary range and benefits. So we need a Pay section and Benefits section? The instruction: "Use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we can have Pay and Benefits sections. However we also have Required Skills, Desired Skills, Required Education. Could combine into Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. But we need to follow instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Required Skills and Desired Skills into a Skills section? But they are separate. Could have "Requirements" covering required skills and education, and "Desired Skills" as separate? Might be okay. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines (the Nightwing description appears twice). We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include Nightwing description once. Let's extract substantive content: - Company description: Nightwing provides technically advanced full-spectrum cyber, data operations, systems integration and intelligence mission support services... capabilities include cyber space operations, cyber defense and resiliency, vulnerability research, ubiquitous technical surveillance, data intelligence, lifecycle mission enablement, and software modernization. Nightwing brings disruptive technologies, agility, and competitive offerings to customers in the intelligence community, defense, civil, and commercial markets. - Mission: Nightwing is supporting a U.S. Government customer to provide support for onsite incident response to civilian Government agencies and critical asset owners who experience cyber-attacks, providing immediate investigation and resolution. Contract personnel perform investigations to characterize of the severity of breaches, develop mitigation plans, and assist with the restoration of services. - Position: Nightwing is seeking a Cyber Threat Analyst to support this critical customer mission. - Responsibilities list: * Researching and compiling known resolution steps or workarounds to enable mitigation of potential Computer Network Defense incidents within the enterprise * Applying knowledge of the tactics, techniques, and procedures of various criminal, insider, hacktivist, and nation state threat actors to identify and validate threats * Applying cybersecurity concepts to the detection and defense of intrusions into small, and large-scale IT networks, and conduct cursory analysis of log data * Conducting cursory analysis of log data (duplicate? Actually appears twice; we should keep only once) * Identifying the cause of an incident and recognizing the key elements to ask external entities when learning the background and potential infection vector of an incident * Tracking and documenting Computer Network Defense (CND) incidents from initial detection through final resolution * Working with other components within the organization to obtain and coordinate information pertaining to ongoing incidents. * Limited candidates may be hired for shift work; assigned to set schedules, triaging and researching incidents for Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), escalating to specialized analysts - Required Skills list (as bullet points): * U.S. Citizenship * Must have an active TS/SCI clearance * Must be able to obtain DHS Suitability * 2+ years of directly relevant experience in cyber incident management or cybersecurity operations * Knowledge of incident response and handling methodologies * Knowledge of the NCCIC National Cyber Incident Scoring System to be able to prioritize triaging of incident * Knowledge of general attack stages (e.g., foot printing and scanning, enumeration, gaining access, escalation of privileges, maintaining access, network exploitation, covering tracks, etc.) * Skill in recognizing and categorizing types of vulnerabilities and associated attacks * Knowledge of basic system administration and operating system hardening techniques * Knowledge of Computer Network Defense policies, procedures, and regulations * Knowledge of different operational threat environments (e.g., first generation [script kiddies], second generation [non nation-state sponsored], and third generation [nation-state sponsored]) * Knowledge of system and application security threats and attack methods (e.g., buffer overflow, mobile code, cross-site scripting, PL/SQL and injections, race conditions, covert channel, replay, return- oriented attacks, and malicious code) * Must be able to work collaboratively across physical locations - Desired Skills list (some overlap with required; but we keep as given): * Knowledge of basic system administration and operating system hardening techniques * Knowledge of Computer Network Defense policies, procedures, and regulations * Knowledge of different operational threat environments (e.g., first generation [script kiddies], second generation [non nation-state sponsored], and third generation [nation-state sponsored]) * Knowledge of system and application security threats and attack methods (e.g., buffer overflow, mobile code, cross-site scripting, PL/SQL and injections, race conditions, covert channel, replay, return- oriented attacks, and malicious code) - Required Education: * BS Incident Management, Operations Management, Cybersecurity or related degree. * HS Diploma with 4-6 years of incident management or cyber security experience. - Desired Certifications: * GCIH, GCFA * GISP, GCED, CCFP or CISSP - Location: Arlington, VA - Salary & Benefits: * Salary range: $77,000–$163,000, commensurate with qualifications, experience, expertise. * Compensation determined based on factors. * Nightwing offers medical, vision and dental insurance coverage in addition to a 401k plan, PTO, Holidays, and additional insurances. We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (maybe combine company description and mission), Responsibilities, Required Skills, Desired Skills, Required Education, Desired Certifications, Pay, Benefits. Could combine Required Skills and Desired Skills into Skills? But instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. However we have distinct content; we could merge Required Skills and Desired Skills into a "Skills" section with subheadings? But we cannot add extra headings beyond

      . Could use

      Skills

      and then separate required vs desired using or paragraphs. That would be fewer sections. Similarly education and certifications could be under "Qualifications". Let's think. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We can have: - About the role (company description + mission + position) - Responsibilities - Skills (combining required and desired) - Qualifications (education + certifications) - Pay - Benefits That's 6 sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. Good. We need to use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use

        . Thus:
