Validate intrusion detection system (IDS) alerts against network traffic using packet analysis tools. Assist in construction of signatures which can be implemented on cyber defense network tools in response to new or observed threats within NE or enclave. Conduct analysis of physical & logical digital technologies (e.g., wireless, SCADA, telecom) to identify potential avenues of access. Conduct network scouting & vulnerability analyses of systems within a network. Determine course of action for addressing changes to objectives, guidance, & operational environment. Identify potential points of strength & vulnerability within a network. Notify designated managers, cyber incident responders, & cybersecurity service provider team members of suspected cyber incidents & articulate event's history, status, & potential impact for further action in accordance with organization's cyber incident response plan. Consult with customers about network system design & maintenance. Design countermeasures & mitigations against potential weaknesses & vulnerabilities in system & elements. Design, develop, & modify network systems, using scientific analysis & mathematical models to predict & measure outcome & consequences of design. Diagnose network connectivity problems. Engage customers to understand their expectations & wants. Evaluate security architecture & its design against cyberspace threats as identified in operational & acquisition documents. Identify optimal locations for network sensor placement to collect on targeted devices. Implement & enforce DCO policies & procedures reflecting applicable laws, policies, procedures, & regulations (such as United States Code Titles 10 & 50). Integrate toolkit into existing networks & create documentation for new architecture. Maintain Operational, technical, & authoritative situational awareness during effects-based operations Notify designated mission leadership or applicable team members of any suspected cyber incident. Provide & maintain documentation for TTPs as inputs to training programs. Provide feedback for RFI generation. Repair network connectivity problems. Install, update, & troubleshoot systems/servers. Identify threats to Blue Force vulnerabilities. Check system HW availability, functionality, integrity, & efficiency. Conduct periodic system maintenance including cleaning (both physically & electronically), disk checks, routine reboots, data dumps, & testing. Comply with organization systems administration SOPs. Manage system/server resources including performance, capacity, availability, serviceability, & recoverability. Oversee installation, implementation, configuration, & support of system components. Diagnose faulty system/server HW. Perform repairs on faulty system/server HW. Troubleshoot HW/SW interface & interoperability problems. Work with stakeholders to report network security incidents & vulnerability compliance. Relevant to this contract, this role provides Cable Management support as part of the Network & System Support team, including, but not limited to: Perform media termination by installing, terminating/splicing, managing, replacing, testing, troubleshooting, & documenting copper (Cat6/6A) & fiber optic (single mode/multi-mode) cabling. Test signal strength, locate faults, & repair damaged fiber by using Fiber Tester & power meters. Test connectivity, speed, & signal integrity of twisted pair & fiber optic cables by using Fluke, OTDRs, or equivalent test equipment. Install conduit, cable trays, ladder racks, J-hooks, patch panels, racks, & cabinets including proper bend radius & weight distribution to prevent signal degradation. Implement "Cable Dressing" standards using hook-&-loop straps. Ensure cabling avoids proximity to power lines or unshielded devices that could leak signals through compromising emanations. Apply DISA Infrastructure STIGs, ensuring all unused ports physically capped or disconnected & racks locked & alarmed. Mark up "As-Built" drawings & update MS Visio network diagrams & rack elevations to reflect physical changes in data center & telecommunication closets. Maintain master "Cable Schedule" or database that tracks room to switchport to network drop mappings. Apply machine-printed labels to every cable end, patch panel, & wall plate using ANSI/TIA-606-C standard or specific Command SOPs. #J-18808-Ljbffr Bravura, Inc.
