Benefits ## Description AnaVation is seeking a Sr. Cyber Threat Analyst to support one of our cybersecurity programs in our National Capital Region office. The Senior Cyber Threat Analyst will provide senior-level cyber threat intelligence analysis and operational intelligence support to a joint mission center focused on identifying, assessing, and characterizing threats to cyberspace operations systems and centers. The successful candidate will independently conduct complex cyber threat analysis, develop finished intelligence and risk assessments, identify emerging threats and intelligence gaps, and provide timely recommendations to operational, intelligence, and senior leadership. The analyst will integrate intelligence with operational planning and targeting activities and coordinate with DoW and IC components and other mission partners as required. This position will require the ability to identify, analyze, and provide recommendations on mitigating cyber threats that could potentially harm operational systems. Responsibilities include: * Identify emerging threats and vulnerabilities across the cyberspace environment to inform operational cyber planning. * Collect, analyze, and synthesize threat data to uncover patterns, detect anomalies, and generate actionable insights. * Produce periodic threat reports highlighting high-priority risks to operational cybersystem infrastructure and mission systems. * Develop, refine, and maintain risk assessment methodologies to quantify and categorize threat severity. * Leverage SIGINT as required to conduct deep technical analysis of significant threats targeting offensive cyber operations systems.
