  • Knowledge of network access, identity, and access management and network traffic flow
  • Knowledge of programming language structures and logic, system and application security threats and vulnerabilities (e.g., buffer overflow, mobile code, cross-site scripting, Procedural Language/Structured Query Language [PL/SQL] and injections, race conditions, covert channel, replay, return-oriented attacks, malicious code)
  • Knowledge of systems diagnostic tools and fault identification techniques and what constitutes a network attack and a network attack's relationship to both threats and vulnerabilities
  • Knowledge of interpreted and compiled computer languages, different classes of attacks (e.g., passive, active, insider, close-in, distribution attacks).
  • Knowledge of cyber attackers (e.g., script kiddies, insider threat, non-nation state sponsored, and nation sponsored), system administration, network, and operating system hardening techniques
  • Knowledge of cyberattack stages (e.g., reconnaissance, scanning, enumeration, gaining access, escalation of privileges, maintaining access, network exploitation, covering tracks)
  • Knowledge of network security architecture concepts including topology, protocols, components, and principles (e.g., application of defense-in-depth), security models (e.g., Bell-LaPadula model, Biba integrity model, Clark-Wilson integrity model)
