Who is Fusion Technology?

Fusion Technology is a performance-driven HUBZone Small Business concern residing in the heart of the beautiful mountainsides of West Virginia, steps away from the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Criminal Justice Information Services Division's Headquarters. Founded in 2007 by an Engineer-by-trade, Fusion Technology dedicates our valuable resources to providing comprehensive IT services and solutions to mission-critical US Government programs and the Intel Community.

What we do:

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is a bureau within the Department of Commerce (DOC) focused on understanding and predicting changes in the Earth's environment. The demand for NOAA’s products and information continues to grow as global climate change and the threat of natural disasters remain at the forefront of the Nation’s attention. Fusion Technology aims to protect the delivery of this critical demand by modernizing NOAA’s IT security infrastructure, increasing security awareness throughout the department, and coordinating security efforts with the intelligence community and stakeholders.

The Cyber Detection Engineer will develop detections based on intelligence available, then research and assist in implementing new detection methods. This Detection Engineer will ensure that malicious activity will be detected within the environment. The DE is responsible for quality assurance of detections including filtering for potential false positives, mapping detections to MITRE ATT&CK framework, and specific campaigns/APTs when applicable. The Detection Engineer will work closely with other analysts to ensure detections are relevant to the current threat landscape. DE will work closely with the SIEM team to make recommendations for tuning and detection enhancements. The DE will evaluate the quality of data resulting from detections and ensure that the output of a detection leads to a meaningful investigation.
