Knowledge of network protocols such as TCP/IP, Dynamic Host Configuration, Domain Name System (DNS), and directory services.
Core KSAT for the following Work Roles
Uses data collected from a variety of cyber defense tools (e.g., IDS alerts, firewalls, network traffic logs.) to analyze events that occur within their environments for the purposes of mitigating threats.
Investigates, analyzes, and responds to cyber incidents within the network environment or enclave.
Tests, implements, deploys, maintains, and administers the infrastructure hardware and software.
Designs, develops, tests, and evaluates information system security throughout the systems development lifecycle.
Plans, implements, and operates network services/systems, to include hardware and virtual environments.
Additional KSAT for the following Work Roles
Develops and maintains business, systems, and information processes to support enterprise mission needs; develops information technology (IT) rules and requirements that describe baseline and target architectures.
Responsible for the cybersecurity of a program, organization, system, or enclave.
Analyzes the security of new or existing computer applications, software, or specialized utility programs and provides actionable results.
Designs enterprise and systems security throughout the development lifecycle; translates technology and environmental conditions (e.g., law and regulation) into security designs and processes.
Executes software planning, requirements, risk management, design, development, architecture, modeling, estimation, configuration management, quality, security, and tests using software development methodologies, architectural structures, viewpoints, styles, design decisions, and frameworks across all lifecycle phases.
Plans, prepares, and performs testing, evaluation, verification, and validation of software to evaluate results against specifications, requirements, and operational need.
Installs, configures, troubleshoots, and maintains hardware, software, and administers system accounts.
Plans, prepares, and executes tests of systems to evaluate results against specifications and requirements as well as analyze/report test results.
Designs, develops, tests, and evaluates information systems throughout the systems development lifecycle.
Consults with customers to evaluate functional requirements and translate functional requirements into technical solutions.
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.
