Junior Cyber Security Specialist
An opportunity is available for a Junior Cyber Security Specialist to support the protection of systems, networks and data in a fast-paced technology environment. This role would suit someone at the early stage of their cyber security career who is keen to develop practical experience while contributing to the prevention, detection and response to security threats.
Working as part of a collaborative security team, you will monitor alerts and events using security monitoring tools, investigate suspicious activity and help assess potential vulnerabilities. You will support the triage and documentation of security incidents, escalate issues in line with established procedures and contribute to post-incident reviews. The role will also involve assisting with vulnerability scanning, patch verification, access reviews and the maintenance of accurate security records.
You will help promote secure working practices by contributing to security awareness activities, updating guidance and supporting colleagues with routine security queries. You may also assist with audits, risk assessments, security testing and the implementation of controls designed to protect confidential information and business services. A willingness to learn new technologies and stay informed about emerging threats will be important.
Applicants should have a foundational understanding of cyber security principles, including common attack methods, network security, identity and access management, malware and data protection. Some practical experience through employment, study, training or personal projects would be beneficial. Familiarity with tools such as vulnerability scanners, endpoint protection platforms, ticketing systems or security information and event management solutions is desirable, but full commercial experience is not essential.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are required, together with careful attention to detail and the ability to communicate technical information clearly. You should be organised, dependable and comfortable working both independently and as part of a team. Relevant qualifications or certifications, such as a degree in cyber security or computing, or an entry-level industry certification, would be welcomed. Training and development support will be available to help you build your career.
