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

In one or more such cases, false promises of actual or potential selection, or initiation or completion of the recruitment formalities appear to have been or are being made. Some jobseekers appear to have been asked to pay money to specified bank accounts of individuals or entities as a condition of their selection for a ‘job’ with Deloitte.

  • We consider candidates on merit and that we provide an equal opportunity to eligible applicants.
  • No one other than designated Deloitte personnel (e.g., a Deloitte recruiter or Deloitte hiring partner) is permitted to extend any job offer from Deloitte.

Anyone who at any time has made or makes any payment to any party in exchange for promises of job or selection for a job with Deloitte or any matter related to this (including those for ‘registration’, ‘verification’ or ‘security deposit’) or otherwise engages with any such person who has made or makes fraudulent promises or offers, does so (or has done so) entirely at their own risk. Deloitte takes no responsibility or liability for any such unauthorized or fraudulent actions or engagements. We encourage jobseekers to exercise caution.
