Cyber Security Analyst

You already have a solid grounding in cyber security, perhaps it's part of your wider IT role, and you're ready to make it your core focus.

This role suits someone who has been actively involved in security monitoring, threat detection, vulnerability management, or incident response, and now wants to deepen their expertise in a dedicated cyber security position.

The role:

You'll play a key role in protecting the organisation's digital estate by monitoring for threats, analysing vulnerabilities, and helping ensure systems remain secure, resilient and well controlled.

Working closely with an experienced Cyber Security Engineer, you'll take increasing ownership of security monitoring and tooling while learning from their years of hands-on experience. You'll also contribute to security focused projects such as VPN replacement, infrastructure improvements, and systems unification across multiple offices.

You may come from an IT background where cyber security has formed a significant part of your role, or you may have completed a Cyber Security degree alongside relevant commercial experience.

What matters most is that you can demonstrate real, practical exposure to cyber security, including:

• Security monitoring and alert investigation

• Threat detection and vulnerability assessment

• Experience with tools such as SIEM, IDS/IPS, firewalls, and endpoint protection

• A good understanding of common attack vectors and security best practices

A degree in Cyber Security is welcome but not essential - if you do hold one, it should be supported by hands-on experience in a live environment.
