Job Description

Program Overview


GDIT delivers critical all‑source intelligence on foreign military and civilian cyber actors, their supporting infrastructure, and the broader ecosystems in which these capabilities operate. This intelligence directly supports foundational military intelligence (FMI) requirements for the joint force and ensures alignment with the mission portfolios.


On this program, GDIT provides a broad range of analytic and mission‑enabling support to produce operationally relevant FMI and scientific and technical intelligence (S&TI) for cyberspace operations. Our support is not limited to analysis; we engage across the entire intelligence cycle—planning, collection, processing, exploitation, production, and dissemination—while also executing integrated mission management functions.


All support is focused on enhancing the customers’ ability to enable both defensive and offensive cyberspace operations.

• Identify DCIP-related threat knowledge gaps and intelligence shortfalls involving state and non‑state cyber actors.

• Validate existing collection strategies, requirements, methodologies, and counterintelligence considerations.

• Develop indicators identifying intentions, capabilities, programs, and actions of potential threat actors targeting DCIP and associated networks.
