Department of Defense Digital Security Job Opportunities
A friend of mine from DoD is trying to hire clueful digital security practitioners. He is looking for people to accept positions with DoD-wide and/or service-specific responsibilities. Skillsets needed include reverse engineering, incident response and analysis, penetration testing, and security engineering. The most important characteristic of the candidate is a desire to see DoD achieve its missions successfully. The next requirement is intense interest in the sorts of subjects discussed in this blog. A SECRET clearance is a minimum requirement but TS is preferred. Please email cyberjobs2009 [at] hotmail [dot] com if interested. I have no other information -- email the point of contact with all questions. Thank you.Richard Bejtlich is teaching new classes in Las Vegas in 2009. Regular Las Vegas registration ends 1 July.

What is this, the world's most intricate identity theft scam? You must be new here.
The challenge then is the difficulty posed by giving up a certain standard of living to contribute to DoD or elsewhere in government for someone of the caliber that needs to be there and already has enclave level 8570.1 credentials AND a TS clearance.
Instead you end up with some homie that just finished college, took some classes, scraped a bare pass on the CISSP and hasnt had enough experience yet to have messed up anything on his record.
I wish your friend the best. Im seeing a lot of positive steps in the right direction over there particularly in the last 3-5 months but it will take some intensive focus at the political leadership levels and some tough choices to make that area effective.
