As a Cyber Security Analyst at Leidos Digital Modernization supporting the DISA GSM-O II program, you will join a dynamic 24x7 security operations team defending Department of Defense networks against evolving cyber threats. Your daily responsibilities include analyzing real-time threat intelligence, correlating security events to identify and prioritize incidents, conducting network traffic analysis using raw packet data, and collaborating with incident response teams. You will investigate alerts from various sources, analyze extensive log files, create detailed technical reports, monitor DoD and open-source intelligence feeds for Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), and integrate them into security sensors and SIEMs. The role requires a strong foundation in networking, packet analysis, and defense-in-depth principles, along with experience using tools like SIEM/SOAR platforms and familiarity with cloud and mobile device security. Essential qualifications include an active DoD Secret clearance, DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification, and the ability to work flexible shifts at locations such as Hill AFB, UT; Scott AFB, IL; or Columbus, OH.
