Malware Analyst

The Opportunity:

As a Malware Analyst, you know that identification, evaluation, and documentation of malware play key roles in the CNO lifecycle. We’re looking for someone like you to flex your problem-solving prowess in a rapidly evolving systems security research and trend identification of malicious software.

You’ll evaluate and analyze complex malicious code using tools, including disassemblers, debuggers, hex editors, un–packers, virtual machines, and network sniffers. You’ll provide the findings in a technical report with details of the malware, identification parameters, advanced capabilities, and mitigation strategies. You’ll perform research in malicious software, vulnerabilities, and exploitation tactics. You’ll lead the development of prototype application software or systems to demonstrate the capability or exploitation of a vulnerability.

You’ll analyze malware to determine its capabilities, intent, indicators, and origin. Confirm what is known about an intrusion and discover new information using industry standard malware and digital forensic analysis techniques. Examine recovered data for information of relevance to the investigation. You’ll support the development of new detection capability by integrating the results of malware and forensic analysis tasks into new and existing detection use cases in order to prevent future occurrences. You’ll be responsible for maintaining currency as data sources, analysis tools, and techniques evolve to changes in the technical computing environment as well as by mandates from higher echelon organizations.
