While formal experience in cyber security, specifically Threat Hunting or Incident Response, is desirable, ASD is also interested in applicants starting out in this field who have demonstrable experience in software development, programming or computer sciences, and who are interested in problem solving. Cyber threat hunting requires analysts to be curious, think outside the box, have an investigative mindset and be diligent in pursuing leads.
