Cybersecurity Analyst- Journeyman

• Continuously monitor the operational status, performance, and availability of enterprise DCO-S tools, sensors, platforms, and infrastructure.
• Conduct regular health checks, configuration audits, and performance analysis on DCO-S systems to identify degradation, misconfigurations, or emerging issues.
• Analyze system logs, metrics, and alerts to evaluate the overall cybersecurity posture and effectiveness of internal DCO-S capabilities.
• Track and report on key health indicators (availability, latency, detection coverage, false-positive rates, patch compliance, etc.).
• Support vulnerability scanning, STIG compliance validation, and remediation tracking for DCO-S systems hosted in enterprise environments.
• Maintain accurate documentation of system baselines, configurations, and health trends for internal DCO-S assets.

• Assess the operational health and readiness of DCO-S capabilities deployed at remote or operational sites (including deployable kits, forward-based systems, and site-specific installations).
• Coordinate with field operators and site personnel to collect health status data, performance metrics, and issue reports from operational locations.
• Perform or support remote and on-site evaluations of deployed DCO-S tools to verify functionality, connectivity, sensor coverage, and alignment with mission requirements.
• Identify capability gaps, degraded performance, or sustainment issues affecting DCO-S systems in the field.
• Support troubleshooting, configuration validation, and restoration of DCO-S capabilities at operational sites when issues are detected.
• Track the status of deployable DCO-S systems (e.g., readiness of kits, software versions, hardware health) across multiple locations.

• Develop and maintain dashboards, status reports, and briefings on the overall health of DCO-S capabilities (internal + external).
• Analyze trends and root causes of capability degradation; recommend corrective actions, process improvements, or technical mitigations.
• Support risk assessments related to DCO-S system health that could impact mission readiness or defensive cyber operations.
• Collaborate with system owners, ISSOs, engineers, and operational units to ensure DCO-S capabilities remain effective and mission-ready.
• Assist in the validation of security controls and continuous monitoring activities specifically tied to DCO-S platforms.
• Contribute to after-action reviews and lessons-learned processes following exercises, deployments, or real-world events involving DCO-S systems.

• Serve as a technical point of contact for DCO-S health and readiness questions from leadership, operators, and supporting organizations.
• Coordinate with external stakeholders (site teams, higher headquarters, vendors) to resolve health-related issues affecting operational DCO-S capabilities.
• Support planning and execution of system upgrades, patches, and configuration changes while minimizing impact on operational availability.

• At least 5+ years' related professional experience
• Experience analyzing system architectures, identifying security gaps, and recommending technical mitigations.
• Familiarity with SIEM tools, log analysis, and basic threat detection/response activities.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical documentation, risk reporting, and stakeholder interaction.
• Experience deploying, managing, or troubleshooting Docker containers
• Familiarity with automation and configuration-management tools such as Ansible
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python and Bash

• Strong understanding of cybersecurity frameworks and models, including MITRE ATT&CK and the Cyber Kill Chain

• Experience supporting DoD cloud environments at Secret, Top Secret, or SAP levels.
• Experience integrating with enterprise DevSecOps platforms such as Platform One, Space CAMP, or other DoD enterprise PaaS environments.
• Experience with GitLab, including source control and CI/CD workflows
• Experience applying machine learning to cybersecurity or data-analysis use cases

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Assurance, Information Systems, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
