No Work Roles with Core KSAT 2459

Additional KSAT for the following Work Roles

All-Source Analyst (Additional) ID: 111 (NIST ID: AN-ASA-001) Workforce Element: Intelligence (Cyberspace)

Analyzes data/information from one or multiple sources to conduct preparation of the environment, respond to requests for information, and submit intelligence collection and production requirements in support of planning and operations.

Cyber Operations Planner (Additional) ID: 332 (NIST ID: CO-PL-002) Workforce Element: Cyberspace Effects

Develops detailed plans for the conduct or support of the applicable range of cyber operations through collaboration with other planners, operators and/or analysts. Participates in targeting selection, validation, synchronization, and enables integration during the execution of cyber actions.

Digital Network Exploitation Analyst (Additional) ID: 122 (NIST ID: N/A) Workforce Element: Cyberspace Effects

The DNEA analyzes intercepted intelligence information for metadata and content. They use this data to reconstruct and document target networks to judge the intelligence value and maintain target continuity. DNEAs understand and analyze target implementation of communication technologies and digital network systems. They discover methods and suggest strategies to exploit specific target networks, computer systems, or specific hardware and/or software.

Joint Targeting Analyst (Additional) ID: 131 (NIST ID: N/A) Workforce Element: Cyberspace Effects

Conducts target development at the system, component and entity levels. Builds and maintains Electronic Target Folders (ETFs), to include input from JIPOE, Target Systems Analysis, GMI and other IC sources. Senior analysts run collaborative target working groups across Geographic Combatant Commands (GCCs) and IC members, presenting candidate targets for IC vetting and commander’s approval for inclusion on the target list. Assess damage resulting from the application of lethal and non-lethal military force, writes Battle Damage Assessment reports, and coordinates federated support as required.

Target Digital Network Analyst (Additional) ID: 132 (NIST ID: N/A) Workforce Element: Cyberspace Effects

The TDNA conducts advanced analysis of collection and open-source data to ensure target continuity, profile targets and their activities, and develop techniques to gain more target cyberspace operations related information. They possess knowledge of target cyberspace technologies and apply skills and knowledge of cyberspace networks and the applications on them to determine how targets communicate, move, operate, and live within the cyberspace domain. TDNAs apply analytical techniques to review relevant content carried in target cyberspace communications. The TDNA uses data from networks of all forms for target development. TDNAs are technology savvy and can be flexible enough to rapidly shift from one target to another.
