Cyber Security Analyst
We are seeking a Cyber Security Analyst to support the protection of critical systems, applications, data and networks against evolving cyber threats. This role will monitor security events, investigate alerts and contribute to the identification, containment and resolution of incidents. The successful candidate will work closely with technology, risk and operational teams to strengthen security controls and promote resilient, secure working practices across the organisation.
Key responsibilities include reviewing alerts from security monitoring and endpoint protection tools, analysing logs and network activity, and escalating confirmed or suspected incidents in line with established procedures. You will assist with incident response, vulnerability management, threat hunting and security investigations, documenting findings and recommending appropriate corrective actions. The role will also involve supporting security assessments, maintaining accurate records, contributing to risk reporting, and helping to develop and improve playbooks, procedures and security awareness materials. You may be required to participate in an out-of-hours on-call or incident response rota.
Applicants should have practical experience in a cyber security, security operations or related technical role, with a sound understanding of information security principles, incident management and common attack methods. Familiarity with SIEM platforms, endpoint detection and response tools, vulnerability scanners, firewalls and network monitoring technologies is desirable. Knowledge of frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001 or CIS Controls would be beneficial, as would relevant certifications such as Security+, CySA+, GCIH or equivalent experience. Strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to prioritise effectively, explain technical issues clearly and handle sensitive information with discretion. A proactive approach to continuous learning and a commitment to maintaining high professional standards are expected.
