Vienna, VA–Hybrid-1 day week onsite needed Cyber Security Content Development: Create high-confidence security monitoring content consisting of dashboards and alerts within SIEM and other network security tools (Hybrid/Cloud) to detect threats, suspicious activities, potential incidents, an aid in analytical-investigations. Continuously evaluate and optimize custom and OOTB (out of the box) detection content monitoring various on-prem and cloud servive provider environments in support to SOC operations. Serve as lead cyber security content SME for collaboration with various teams for purposes including, but not limited to threat intelligence, hunt operations, red team engagements, identity management, security architecture review, security event logging issues, and detection content management for identifying gaps and enhancing NFCU cyber security monitoring posture. Log Analysis: Troubleshoot issues in production and other test and development environments, applying debugging and problem-solving methodologies (e.g., log analysis, non-invasive tests). Conduct independent critical thinking to diagnose and analyze threat intelligence data, latest threats and attack vectors, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to make decisions on the most effective response and remediation strategies through content development. Perform analysis of log files from a variety of sources (e.g., individual host logs, network traffic logs, firewall logs, and intrusion detection system [IDS] logs) to identify possible threats and vulnerabilities impacting the NFCU organization. Documentation and Process Improvement: Develop technical documents including, but not limited to content creation, content/rule review process, language-specific querying for disparate log sources, network/security visibility issues, detection gaps, SOPs, and monitoring strategies. Continuously executes timely and effective communication across team and management channels regarding tasks completed, roadblocks experienced, and process improvement opportunties identified. 7+ years of experience within cyber security operations and SIEM technologies serving in a senior analyst or supervisory role. Advanced knowledge of content creation concepts, content development management, content testing, implementation, the revision cycle, and cybersecurity threat analysis of complex events. Advanced skills in monitoring and analyzing logs and alerts from a variety of different technologies and sources, to include but not limited to IDS/IPS, firewall, proxies, network/host, anti-virus, OS events, application/database, EDR, NDR, Cloud (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS). Advanced skill in developing complex detection content using various data sources and query languages – e.g., custom SPL(macros, lookups, regex) SNORT, YARA, KQL Experience in analyzing security systems, and how changes in conditions, operations, or the environment will affect deployed monitoring content. Experience in applying cybersecurity and privacy principles to organizational requirements (relevant to confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, non-repudiation). Advanced knowledge of security architectures, devices, proxies, firewalls, and system and application security threats and vulnerabilities (e.g., buffer overflow, mobile code, cross-site scripting, Procedural Language/Structured Query Language [PL/SQL] and injections, race conditions, covert channel, replay, return-oriented attacks, malicious code).
