Items denoted by a * are CORE KSATs for every Work Role, while other CORE KSATs vary by Work Role.


Core KSAT for the following Work Roles

Access Network Operator (Core) ID: 321 (NIST ID: CO-OP-001) Workforce Element:

Conducts access collection, processing, and/or geolocation of wired or wireless computer and digital networks in order to exploit, locate, and/or track targets of interest.

Additional KSAT for the following Work Roles

Cyberspace Operator (Additional) ID: 322 (NIST ID: N/A) Workforce Element: Cyberspace Effects

Cyberspace Operators use a wide range of software applications for network navigation, tactical forensic analysis, surveillance and reconnaissance, and executing on-net operations in support of offensive cyberspace operations when directed.

Network Analyst (Additional) ID: 443 (NIST ID: N/A) Workforce Element: Cyberspace Effects

The Network Analyst will understand network traffic signatures and discover anomalies through network traffic and packet capture (PCAP) analysis. The Network Analyst will identify, assess, and mitigate intrusions into networks that are vital to cyberspace operations security. Network Analysts also use GUI or command-line based tools and assist in developing network mapping and signatures. Network Analysts will develop advanced network detection rules and alerts, queries and dashboards to gain a holistic view of the network.

Network Technician (Additional) ID: 442 (NIST ID: N/A) Workforce Element: Cyberspace Effects

The Network Technician provides enterprise and tactical infrastructure knowledge, experience, and integration to the Cyber Protection Team (CPT). The Network Technician supports CPT elements by understanding of network technologies, defining mission scope, and identifying terrain.
