Cyber Operations recruitment

The Cyber Operations group within the Defence Signals Directorate (DSD) would like to make the Faculty of Information Technology and students aware of a new and exciting recruiting campaign currently being run by DSD in the field of cyber operations.

Cyber Operations are looking for passionate technical people who are interested in:

• Programming in high and low level languages
• Responding to incidents on critical networks
• Computer forensics to help find the really bad guys
• System administration to support our specialist networks
• Penetration testing, including tool and exploit development
• Software reverse engineering for malware analysis
• Computer and network vulnerability analysis and discovery
• Secure system and network architecture design and risk management

The campaign will run from July to September, with electronic applications closing on 17 August 2008. During September, DSD will host a fully-paid 2 day assessment centre in Canberra for those applicants found suitable during the first phase. This will also give applicants an opportunity to meet Cyber Operations staff and see the exciting range of work available at DSD.
