JOB DESCRIPTION:
The resource will directly contribute to the NYC Office of Technology and Innovation’s Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) initiatives, including enhancing prevention, detection, response and recovery efforts through various technical and operational methods; to reduce the mean time to detection and response of cybersecurity events experienced in municipal networks while improving process efficiencies. The resource will work with cyber professionals and information sharing partners to build tools and integrations that enable threat analysts and incident responders to more efficiently respond to various Cyber Security events.
Without this resource, CTI will be unable to onboard any additional intelligence sources into ODIN and, should existing connectors require updates, will be unable to continue using these parsers / connectors. As a result, CTI will be unable to meet certain BAU requirements and OOMs.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
CTI currently leverages a contract engineer to develop and update custom parsers / connectors for the Operational Defense Intelligence Network (ODIN), CTI's primary internal workbench. These parsers / connectors are used to automate the importation of data and reports into ODIN from our internal and external intelligence and data sources, which are critical to core CTI functions and workflows, including disseminating intelligence to the Threat Observables and Reports (ThOR) platform. CTI requires development of several additional parsers / connectors to meet organizational requirements (including importing internal data sources) as well as support periodic updates and tuning of existing parsers / connectors. Access to shared threat intel and models provide a wider view into the network threat spectrum as provided by multiple threat models, vendors, and industry partners.
