Junior Cyber Security Analyst
We are seeking a motivated Junior Cyber Security Analyst to join a growing security function. This is an excellent opportunity for someone at the beginning of their cyber security career to develop practical experience, strengthen their technical skills and contribute to the protection of business systems, data and users.
In this role, you will monitor security alerts and event logs, investigate potential incidents and support the timely escalation of suspected threats. You will assist with triaging phishing reports, malware notifications, vulnerability findings and unusual user activity, documenting your investigations clearly and maintaining accurate incident records.
Your responsibilities will also include supporting vulnerability management activities, helping to review endpoint and network security controls, and contributing to regular security reporting. You may assist with access reviews, security testing, threat intelligence research and the development of procedures designed to improve detection and response. You will work closely with technical teams and colleagues across the business to promote secure working practices and help resolve security-related issues.
Applicants should have a sound understanding of core cyber security principles, including confidentiality, integrity and availability, common attack techniques, identity and access management, networking fundamentals and incident response processes. Familiarity with security monitoring tools, SIEM platforms, endpoint protection, vulnerability scanners or ticketing systems would be advantageous.
You should be analytical, curious and able to communicate technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong attention to detail, good organisation and a willingness to learn are essential. Relevant study, practical projects or certifications such as CompTIA Security+, Cyber Essentials knowledge or an equivalent qualification would be welcomed, although applications from candidates with transferable experience and a genuine interest in cyber security are encouraged.
This role offers the opportunity to work within a supportive team, gain exposure to a broad range of security activities and build a strong foundation for a long-term career in cyber security. A commitment to professional development, responsible handling of sensitive information and continuous improvement is essential.
