Lead Cyber Defense Forensics Analyst

The Role

This onsite position within a classified government facility leads complex digital forensic investigations at the senior practitioner level. Day to day, the analyst conducts forensic examinations, supports incident response analysis, contributes to threat hunt operations, and sets the methodological standard for evidentiary handling across the cyber defense program.

Skills & Experience

Candidates must hold an active Top Secret/SCI clearance. The role demands deep expertise in computer forensics, network analysis, and legally defensible evidentiary practices. Experience operating within classified enterprise cybersecurity environments is essential, alongside strong grounding in incident response methodology and threat hunt support.

Who It Suits

This role suits a seasoned forensic practitioner who thrives in a hands-on technical capacity rather than a management function. Someone comfortable working within highly secure, structured government environments, setting analytic standards and owning the most technically complex investigations, will find this position a strong fit.
