Fort George G Meade, MD (On-Site/Office)
The professionals at the National Security Agency (NSA) have one common goal: to protect our nation. The mission requires a strong offense and a steadfast defense. The offense collects, processes and disseminates intelligence information derived from foreign signals for intelligence and counterintelligence purposes. The defense prevents adversaries from gaining access to sensitive or classified national security information. Technology Vulnerability Analysts detect and mitigate close access technical attacks unintentional (TEMPEST) threats emanating from secure facilities and equipment.
As a TEMPEST Technology Vulnerability Analyst, responsibilities include:
- Performing TEMPEST field testing to discover vulnerabilities in systems and facilities
- Providing Subject Matter Expert (SME) support to the DoD and Government agencies to ensure that TEMPEST, TSCM requirements are applied equally throughout the Intelligence Community (IC)
- Performing TEMPEST laboratory / facilities testing to ensure that TEMPEST certification meets the current National TEMPEST requirements
- Performing TEMPEST testing of Commercial Off ' The ' Shelf (COTS) equipment to discover the extent of vulnerabilities for countermeasure purposes
- Modernize TEMPEST related IA standards, policies and procedures
- Performing technical and operational functions in radio frequency (RF) survey, physical (structural, network) evaluations
- Performing audits, inspections and investigations in accordance with government regulations and make appropriate recommendations for improvement
- Performing research and development on future TEMPEST/TSCM countermeasures
Start your career as a Technology Vulnerability Analyst at NSA, where you can become an expert in networking protocols and architectures, cloud security, and Internet of Things protocols, to impact and advance traditional network security.
The qualifications listed are the minimum acceptable to be considered for the position.
Degree must be in Computer Science or a related field (e.g., Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Forensics, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Information Assurance, and Information Security).
Relevant experience must be in vulnerability analysis and/or computer forensics. In addition, experience may include the following: computer or information systems design/development, coding, information/cyber/network security, information assurance, systems engineering, and/or network and/or system administration. Completion of military training in a relevant area such as JCAC (Joint Cyber Analysis course), Undergraduate Cyber Training (UCT), Network Warfare Bridge Course (NWBC)/Intermediate Network Warfare Training (INWT), Cyber Defense Operations will be considered towards the relevant experience requirement (i.e., 20-24 weeks course will count as 6 months of experience, 10-14 weeks will count as 3 months of experience).
FULL PERFORMANCE
