Cyber Operations Specialist

As a Cyber Operations Specialist, you’ll use your cyber security skills to defend the Army’s crucial and complex weapons systems, which include satellites, navigation, and aviation systems against both foreign and domestic cyber threats. You’ll maintain dominance in both offensive and defensive cyberspace operations and respond to adversary attacks, while enabling commanders to gain an advantage in cyberspace by targeting adversary activities and capabilities. As a result, part of the job requires defensive operations where you protect data, networks, net-centric capabilities, and other designated systems.

The goal is to evaluate network defense operations and respond accordingly.

Specialists also use defense tools such as firewalls to protect national interests.
