• Enhance DCO Capabilities: Analyze systems and recommend structural changes to improve DCO Marines' ability to monitor, detect, and respond to adversarial activity (e.g., logging standards, sensor placement, alert thresholds).

• Integrate DCO Systems & Playbooks: Assist in connecting program systems to designated DCO providers and produce DCO System Playbooks that outline incident response procedures.

• Execute Scans & Vulnerability Management: Run ACAS vulnerability scans, analyze results, propose remediation actions, and monitor the ongoing application security posture for ISSM reporting.

• Automate Security Tasks: Utilize PowerShell, JavaScript, or Python to automate repetitive cybersecurity engineering, analysis, and reporting tasks.

• Investigate Cyber Incidents: Support breach investigations by analyzing multiple data sources to identify indicators of compromise (IoCs).

• Author Technical Reports: Draft clear client reports explaining technical findings, engineering rationale, and remediation steps for non-technical Program Office stakeholders.
