About The Position

We’re mission accelerators who protect and advance national interests by harnessing cutting-edge technology. As a penetration tester, you'll play a pivotal role in safeguarding our critical digital environments. Your ability to provide support by developing detailed test and assessment plans to be used during onsite and remote security assessments and by understanding and carrying-out attack stages such as foot printing and scanning, enumeration, gaining access, escalation or privileges, maintaining access, network exploitation, and covering tracks using one or more Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) will ensure the security of US Navy computer systems, applications, servers, and networks. You will be providing support to customers by utilizing vulnerability scans, compliance checks, and other configuration data including Group Policy Object’s (GPOs) and Windows Software Update Service (WSUS) to accurately identify specific inconsistencies within system documentation such as vendor claims, Risk Management Framework (RMF) artifacts, CONOPS, systems engineering plans, design specifications, and interface descriptions and the actual applied security controls as developed or deployed within an Information System, Platform Information Technology (PIT) system, Information Technology (IT) product, or provided in IT services. You will also provide customer support by performing packet-level analysis using appropriate tools such as Wireshark and tcp dump in order to identify specific information within network packets indicating anomalous or malicious behavior within network traffic flows. In this role, you’ll be instrumental in providing support by utilizing automated tools to conduct penetration tests of networks, applications, web applications, servers, endpoints, wireless, and mobile technologies and performing physical security testing to exploit physical security vulnerabilities by attempting to circumvent locks, badge readers, and other physical security controls, typically to gain unauthorized access to specific hosts. Work with us as we help keep our customers’ digital environments secure. Join us. The world can't wait.
