What your day might entail: 

Malware reverse engineers spend their days reversing advanced nation-state level malware, identifying “Indicators”, and writing reports. However, pools of indicators and buckets of reports do no good on their own, which is why our customers have teams of cyber intel analysts who distill bigger picture conclusions which are then reported up the intelligence chain. These analysts also craft targeted roll-up indicator reports that are distributed back to the defense contractor base so that everyone, as a collective, can up their net defenses. All of the reverse engineering reports and technical indicators are stored in a set of massive databases.  

Web devs provide analysts with a meaningful way to make use of all of that data. Through custom developed web apps, a cyber intel analyst can sort through the noise to find critical connections. The web app might provide a suite of customized visualizations (interactive graphs), allow the analyst to generate partially-populated reports (on predefined templates), or catalog their analysis, enabling future correlation. Accordingly, these web apps are literally at the heart of nearly all critical intelligence reporting.
