This is your opportunity to help advance national security through cutting-edge cyber capabilities.

  • Knowledge of military assessments, training evaluations, and after-action reviews (AARs)
  • Ability to explain, present, demonstrate, and document the operational impact of a vulnerability or exploit
  • Cyber Operations or Penetration Testing Certification such as CEH, GPEN, GPXN, PenTest+, or OSCP Certification
