About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and innovative Threat Intelligence Analyst to join our team in the greater DMV area, specifically supporting the Army National Guard.

You will map adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to local technologies and control gaps, prioritizing detections and mitigation actions. The role involves translating complex intelligence into operational tasks by developing enrichment logic, correlation rules, and intelligence-driven detection use cases for SIEM, EDR, and SOAR workflows. You will validate indicators with SOC analysts and incident responders, supporting hunt missions and investigations with contextual intelligence. Additionally, you will track adversary campaigns and malware trends to provide mission-focused recommendations for defensive measures, ensuring our enterprise readiness and response posture remain robust against emerging threats.
