Our client's Cyber Systems Programme is looking to develop skills, experience and understanding of non-IP or RF communication protocols and systems such that it can enable development of robust methods to detect anomalous or malicious traffic beyond the scope of the traditional enterprise network.
To support this aim we require a motivated and driven individual and to successfully design and build simple test bed demonstrator's utilising different military communications standards and protocols. This will help support our staff in understanding dataflow and how to spot anomalous activity that could be due to a cyber attack.
Minimum Requirement:
One or more of the following is Essential:
Experience in the design and build of enterprise network sensors and associated analytics in constrained environments (low size/weight/power/bandwidth)
Experience in design and build of simple networks using non-IP based communication protocols, (eg databuses and/or RF datalinks such as Mil-StD-1530, CANBus, firewire, GVA, link-16 or others)
Experience in the design and set-up of virtualised networks simulating above systems to enable readily available training networks that are more readily accessible outside the laboratory
Essential skills that also need to be demonstrated:
Experience in the design of exercises or training packages using physical or virtual network infrastructure.
Experience in independently leading work packages, exercises or trials that require the design, purchase, build, operation and maintenance of equipment.
Software development skills sufficient to build applications from source.
Desirable skills
Experience of cyber exploitation of databus or datalinks or manipulation of data
Signal processing and detection of anomalous data events
Experience in heterogeneous communication networks (mixed IP/non-IP traffic)
RF communication experimentation with data collection using both hardware and simulation including design of experiments
RF communications knowledge, design, analysis and implementation of protocols
Analysis of data from RF communications systems for detection and pattern of life
Experience of Military communication systems RF communications
Data science of RF data for anomaly detection
Visualisation of data, development of analytics, packaging and deploying software
Experience with building cloud/virtual computing platforms (OpenStack)
Experience in host log systems on Windows and Linux (Sysmon, logcheck, and central log collection)
Experience in network sensor placement
Experience with host/network intrusion detection systems (Snort, OSSEC)
