Network Security Analyst-TS/SCI with FS Poly

Inferno Systems is searching for Network Security Analysts to work on our red team to identify target network infrastructure and vulnerabilities. You will work closely with penetration testers and other team members to map out target networks (SIGDEV) using many different network artifacts. You will assist with identifying target objectives, understanding internal network connections and architectures, lateral movement, and any internal security mechanisms (IDS/IPS, host-based agents, etc).

You will also analyze data collected from the target and assist with drafting operational reports of your findings. You will help scope, guide and analyze network exploitation activities and risks. You will be responsible for mapping out target networks, identifying opportunities for expansion and assisting Penetration Testers in planning out next steps. You can also assist the Penetration Testers to better hone their operational security, evade detection and find new ways to penetrate and pivot through target networks., Inferno Systems is searching for Network Security Analysts to work on our red teams to identify and target network vulnerabilities, analyze large amounts of network data and make recommendations based on their analysis. This unique opportunity allows you to experience both sides of CNE activity, expand both your offensive and defensive skills and help you think like the attacker to improve operational success. You must like solving complex challenges, developing threat detection processes based on analytic findings and researching the latest cyber security solutions in a rapidly changing environment.
