Vulnerability Analysis
Category: Protection and DefenseNICE Framework ID: PD-WRL-007Responsible for assessing systems and networks to identify deviations from acceptable configurations, enclave policy, or local policy. Measure effectiveness of defense-in-depth architecture against known vulnerabilities.
Cybercrime Investigation
Category: InvestigationNICE Framework ID: IN-WRL-001Responsible for investigating cyberspace intrusion incidents and crimes. Applies tactics, techniques, and procedures for a full range of investigative tools and processes and appropriately balances the benefits of prosecution versus intelligence gathering.
Exploitation Analysis
Category: Cyberspace EffectsNICE Framework ID: CE-WRL-003Responsible for identifying access and intelligence collection gaps that can be satisfied through cyber collection and/or preparation activities. Leverages all authorized resources and analytic techniques to penetrate targeted networks.
Target Analysis
Category: Cyberspace EffectsNICE Framework ID: CE-WRL-006Responsible for conducting target development at the system, component, and entity levels. Builds and maintains electronic target folders to include inputs from environment preparation and/or internal or external intelligence sources. Coordinates with partner target working groups and intelligence community members, and presents candidate targets for vetting and validation. Assesses and reports on damage resulting from the application of military force and coordinates federal support as required.
Target Network Analysis
Category: Cyberspace EffectsNICE Framework ID: CE-WRL-007Responsible for conducting advanced analysis of collection and open-source data to ensure target continuity; profiling targets and their activities; and developing techniques to gain target information. Determines how targets communicate, move, operate, and live based on knowledge of target technologies, digital networks, and applications.
