- The Client:
A government department client is looking for a Cyber Security Analyst to join them on a 3 month contract. This position will be remote.
Job Summary:
The purpose of this project is to understand how ‘real world’ regulation, and foundational technologies of cyberspace can inadvertently facilitate or be exploited for criminal activity. This work will help inform more effective responses by government, law enforcement and developers alike to combat cybercrime.
Researching malicious internet infrastructure is a highly specialised field that blends cybersecurity, threat intelligence, and network analysis. A specialist in this area should possess a combination of technical skills, analytical capabilities, and practical experience.
The key objective is to derive new insights into the different types of malicious infrastructure which are being used by cybercriminals to identify opportunities to use the insights into malicious infrastructure to inform cybercrime policy and countermeasures including an assessment of risks and issues.
The role will also require excellent stakeholder management skills to contact and engage with key organisations, individuals and maybe academia.
Minimum Requirement:
- Have experience with dealing with real world threats in the serious and organised crime or cyber threat incidents.
- Have experience in analysing malware behaviour and an ability to identify associated infrastructure.
- Have an excellent understanding of how cyber threat attackers build and use infrastructure to undertake malicious activity.
- Certifications required (minimum of 2):
- CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) or a similar certification.
- GIAC Cyber Threat Intelligence (GCTI) or a similar certification.
- GIAC Reverse Engineering Malware (GREM) or a similar certification.
- Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH).
- Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) or a similar certification.
- Must have data analysis and visualisation.
- Understanding of Cybersecurity Concepts and Threat Intelligence.
- Internet infrastructure / security architecture.
An active DV clearance is required for this role. At a minimum, candidates must be eligible and willing to undergo security clearance. Due to the short-term nature of the contract and the urgency of the requirement, the client may prioritise applicants who already hold active DV clearance and meet all essential criteria.
