.

1

00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:01,500

My name is Winston Barnett.

2

00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:02,600

I’m Thomas Clark.

3

00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04

This is my DCMA.

4

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

And this is my DCMA.

5

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12,500

I’ve been with DCMA for two years. 
 
I am the branch chief overseeing 

6

00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:15

the cyber forensics and Insider Threat piece.

7

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18,210

We do all the forensics work that you need 

8

00:00:18,210 --> 00:00:22

- at least the cyber effects of it - 
as well as dealing with Insider Threat cases.

9

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

I’ve been here for about a year now and 

10

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

I am the chief of the Offensive Security Team.  

11

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

We do offensive capabilities – penetration testing.

12

00:00:30 --> 00:00:33

Pretty much we look like the adversary.  

13

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

We attack things, such as simple work 
stations all the way to critical assets.

14

00:00:36 --> 00:00:40

Before I was just the tech guy and they would say, 
“hey, do stuff,” and I would do that.
  
15

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

Whereas here, I’m the branch chief, and 
there’s all the extra parts of it.  

16

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

And now, instead of just sitting around 
doing the work and just zoning out, 

17

00:00:45 --> 00:00:49

, I have to be aware of all the 
different moving pieces going around.

18

00:00:49 --> 00:00:54

Our division is really good for 
engineers, good for analysts. 

19

00:00:54 --> 00:01:00

Our leader, Mr. King, he helps us achieve the mission.

20

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03

He gives us the mission sets; he gives us approval; 
and he allows us to execute.

21

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06

If somebody is interested in this job, you really have to live this.

22

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

You have to go home; you have to study;

23

00:01:08 --> 00:01:12

and you always have to be on the material that 
is most common, the most up to date information. 

24

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15

Figure out what part of cybersecurity you want to work for.   

25

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

If it’s cybersecurity, if it’s IT – 
figure out which part of that. 

26

00:01:18 --> 00:01:22

Find your niche that you would enjoy doing and 
then really put an effort in to develop your skillset.

27

00:01:22 --> 00:01:26

You can’t usually wait for somebody to come to you 
and be like, “hey, you need to learn this.”   

28

00:01:26 --> 00:01:30

You need to learn it before everybody else,
and that’s the key to offensive security.

29

00:01:30 --> 00:01:36

You have to know it before the adversary 
or you’re not really doing the mission,

30

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39

you’re just doing replays from what has already happened.
