Knowledge

Knowledge of data backup, types of backups (e.g., full, incremental), and recovery concepts and tools.

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

Database Administrator (Core) ID: 421 (NIST ID: OM-DA-001) Workforce Element: IT (Cyberspace)

Administers databases and/or data management systems that allow for the storage, query, and utilization of data.

Information Systems Security Manager (Core) ID: 722 (NIST ID: OV-MG-001) Workforce Element: Cybersecurity

Responsible for the cybersecurity of a program, organization, system, or enclave.

Additional KSAT for the following Work Roles

Cyber Defense Forensics Analyst (Additional) ID: 212 (NIST ID: IN-FO-002) Workforce Element: Cybersecurity

Analyzes digital evidence and investigates computer security incidents to derive useful information in support of system/network vulnerability mitigation.

Cyber Defense Incident Responder (Additional) ID: 531 (NIST ID: PR-IR-001) Workforce Element: Cybersecurity

Investigates, analyzes, and responds to cyber incidents within the network environment or enclave.

Cyber Defense Infrastructure Support Specialist (Additional) ID: 521 (NIST ID: PR-INF-001) Workforce Element: Cybersecurity

Tests, implements, deploys, maintains, and administers the infrastructure hardware and software.

Forensics Analyst (Additional) ID: 211 (NIST ID: IN-FO-001) Workforce Element: Cyberspace Enablers / Legal/Law Enforcement

Conducts deep-dive investigations on computer-based crimes establishing documentary or physical evidence, to include digital media and logs associated with cyber intrusion incidents.

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.

Vulnerability Assessment Analyst (Additional) ID: 541 (NIST ID: PR-VA-001) Workforce Element: Cybersecurity

Performs assessments of systems and networks within the NE or enclave and identifies where those systems/networks deviate from acceptable configurations, enclave policy, or local policy. Measures effectiveness of defense-in-depth architecture against known vulnerabilities.
