Summary:

Yorktown Systems Group is seeking a highly qualified Threat Tactics and Distance Learning Support Subject Matter Expert (SME) to provide professional services and support to the TRADOC Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence (G-2) Operational Environment (OE) and Core Functions. The Operational Environment (OE) is a composite of the conditions, circumstances, and influences that affect the employment of military forces and bear on the decisions of the unit commander. As an organic, complex system, the OE provides the common framework in which warfighting programs and strategies are conceived, defined, and executed. It is a living foundation in which choices made, by adversary and allies alike, affect the outcome of the future which must be accounted for. As adversary's asymmetrical approach to warfare continues to generate greater complexity and flexibility, the government's requirement for similar complexity and adaptability in Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) escalates correspondingly.

TRADOC Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence (G-2)'s mission is to understand, visualize, describe, deliver & assess the OE in order to reduce risk and prevent surprise; today and into the future 2035+. TRADOC G-2 is the designated Lead for Core Function #13 Operational Environment; the process of developing, verifying, validating, accrediting, and providing OE products and services represents an authoritative, validated OE contextual baseline for TRADOC users and operational forces in the areas of training and training development; education; leader development; concept and doctrine development; and capabilities development, integration, and evaluation.

Sophisticated attacks look further than the Cyber aspects to identify weak links to confidential information. These links often remain unidentified by regular tests. Red Team Operations allow an organization to assess the Cyber readiness and awareness through scenario based controlled incidents.

As a Red Team Operator, you will work together with a highly skilled and trained team in Red Team engagements for our clients. In these engagements, you will work to achieve specific objectives by covertly breaching the client's network. We expect our operators to achieve these objectives as quietly as possible without raising alarms that result in detection by Blue Teams. Often, there are physical security objectives that must be met to gain access to the network at a client site. Since no environment is the same, we expect our Red Team Operators to be up-to-date with the latest exploits and potential attack strategies. The results of an exploit must be anticipated by the operator to prevent stability and availability issues to the environment. We expect you to be able to turn observations and weaknesses into specific, concrete improvement points. Periodically, you can also be asked to take part in traditional penetration testing assessments.

Specific duties may include, but are not limited to:

• Perform red team assessments including physical, social engineering, and network exploitation
• Perform internal and external penetration testing of network infrastructure and applications
• Perform well controlled vulnerability exploitation/penetration testing on applications, network protocols, and databases
• Perform network reconnaissance, OSINT, social engineering, and physical security reviews
• Demonstrate advanced understanding of business processes, internal control risk management, IT controls and related standards
• Identify and evaluate complex business and technology risks, internal controls which mitigate risks, and related opportunities for internal control improvement
• Assist in the selection and tailoring of approaches, methods and tools to support service offering or industry projects
• Understand clients' business environment and basic risk management approaches
• Demonstrate a general knowledge of market trends, competitor activities, products and service lines
• Generate innovative ideas and challenge the status quo
• Build and nurture positive working relationships with clients with the intention to exceed client expectations
• Facilitate use of technology-based tools or methodologies to review, design and/or implement products and services
• Participate in and actively support mentoring relationships within practice

Required Qualifications:

• Must have 10 years' experience performing or providing relevant and similar support as outlined in the specific duties of this job announcement
• Former military field grade officer, warrant officer, or senior non-commissioned officer with Red Team Operator experience is preferred.
