Job description

Our Deloitte Cyber team understands the unique challenges and opportunities businesses face in cybersecurity.

Join our team to deliver powerful solutions to help our clients navigate the ever-changing threat landscape.

Through powerful solutions and managed services that simplify complexity, we enable our clients to operate with resilience, grow with confidence, and proactively manage to secure success.
Work you'll do
Seeking an Exploitation Analyst to support in intelligence functions, analytics, and cyber investigations and operations.

Analysts will be assigned to a variety of core analytical tasks or projects.

Exploitation Analysts have many of the same skills of DNEAs, but their primary mission is enabling computer network exploitation.

In addition to maintaining DNEA-level understanding of adversary networks, exploitation analysts have to understand network defenses and vulnerabilities in relation to available exploitation capabilities in order to create exploitation plans and make operational adjustments as the plan is executed.
In this role you will:
* Apply data and technical expertise to perform file signature analysis, real-time forensic analysis, and report intelligence-derived significant network events and intrusions
* Conduct research and analysis at the operational or strategic level
* Communicate your assessments in operational- or strategic-level analytic intelligence products and through oral briefings
* Threat analysis includes assessments identifying and describing threat actors, activities, platforms, and targets-as well as how they interact-and providing an understanding of the presence, intent, and capabilities of the identified threats
The team
Deloitte's Government and Public Services (GPS) practice - our people, ideas, technology and outcomes-is designed for impact.

Serving federal, state, & local government clients as well as public higher education institutions, our team of over 15,000+ professionals brings fresh perspective to help clients anticipate disruption, reimagine the possible, and fulfill their mission promise.

Our Cyber Defense & Resilience offering assists clients in defending against advanced threats by transforming security operations, monitoring technology, data analytics, and threat intelligence.

Helps manage and protect dynamic attack surfaces and provides rapid crisis and cyber incident response, ensuring clients can be ready for, respond to, and recover from business disruptions.
