Title: Incident Manager II

SALARY RANGE:
$56,000-$66,000
Onsite – 100%

Description:
Solutions³ LLC is supporting a U.S. Government customer to provide rapid deployment and management of secure cloud-based engagement kits for cyber incident response and threat hunting operations. As part of the Engagement Support Services (ESS) contract, this program enables analysts to quickly access the tools and environments they need to investigate cyber threats affecting federal agencies, state and local governments, and critical infrastructure. Working on this team means directly supporting the nation's cybersecurity defenders by ensuring they have reliable, scalable, and secure cloud infrastructure available within hours of a cyber incident—helping protect America's digital infrastructure when it matters most.

The Cyber Triage Analyst serves as a frontline defender in the nation's cyber defense posture, performing initial analysis and triage of cyber threat reports, indicators of compromise (IOCs), and incident. This is not a developmental position. Analysts function similarly to a Tier 1/2 SOC analyst with enhanced threat intelligence responsibilities, and are expected to independently research cyber activity, rapidly assess and evaluate available information, develop defensible analytical conclusions, identify gaps, and recommend appropriate follow-on actions while maintaining strong coordination with government and private sector partners.
