Junior Cyber Security Analyst
We are seeking a motivated Junior Cyber Security Analyst to join a growing security function and support the protection of systems, networks and information assets. This is an excellent opportunity for someone at the start of their cyber security career who is keen to develop practical experience in a collaborative environment.
In this role, you will monitor security alerts and events using security information and event management tools, investigate unusual activity and escalate potential incidents in line with established procedures. You will assist with incident response, gather evidence, maintain accurate records and contribute to post-incident reviews. The role will also involve reviewing vulnerability reports, supporting remediation activities and helping to ensure that security controls remain effective.
Additional responsibilities will include assisting with access reviews, endpoint security checks and phishing investigations, as well as contributing to security awareness activities. You will help maintain clear documentation, update procedures and produce concise reports for technical and non-technical stakeholders. You may also support compliance checks, cyber security testing and the delivery of improvement initiatives across the organisation.
The successful candidate will have a genuine interest in cyber security and a basic understanding of common threats, vulnerabilities, networking principles and security controls. Familiarity with technologies such as Microsoft environments, endpoint protection platforms, firewalls, vulnerability scanners or SIEM solutions would be advantageous. Relevant study, certifications or practical experience, such as CompTIA Security+, Microsoft security certifications or equivalent learning, would be welcomed.
You should be analytical, methodical and willing to learn, with the ability to remain calm when handling incidents. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to manage priorities, follow procedures and work effectively as part of a team. A proactive approach, attention to detail and a commitment to confidentiality are also important.
This role offers structured development, exposure to a broad range of cyber security activities and the opportunity to build a rewarding career in information security.
