Responsibilities

Our nation has entered a new era that brings profound changes to the way the National Security Agency conducts its mission.  The explosion of the World Wide Web has created a need for the Computer Network Operations (CNO) mission.  This very important mission is composed of three major parts: network defense, network attack, and computer network exploitation.  In order to carry out these functions NSA is looking for people who are highly skilled and impassioned about winning the war in cyberspace. These are NOT your average Computer Science or Engineering jobs! 

Operators support the operations and intelligence collection capabilities conducted through the use of computer networks. As an operator, you will use advanced software applications for network navigation, tactical forensic analysis, and collection of valuable intelligence information

To advance the development of operators, NSA has created the Cyber Exploitation Corps Development Program (CECDP). The CECDP is a premier technical development program seeking highly motivated and exceptionally high potential computer scientists and engineers - and providing them opportunities to develop and excel -- both technically and professionally.  The CECDP produces an elite group of professional operators with expert abilities in Computer Network Operations positioning the participants for future career progression. Participants will be hired full-time for this four-year development program with rotational technical diversity assignments, specialized lab/classroom training, and a final project which will enable them to understand the breadth of the Computer Network Operations mission. 

Upon successful completion of this program, participants will be able to choose from a variety of CNO positions throughout the Agency.
