An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Security Analyst specialising in emerging technology within the financial services sector. This role will support the assessment, monitoring and assurance of new technologies, helping to identify and manage cyber security risks across a complex and highly regulated environment. You will work closely with technology, risk, compliance and business teams to ensure that innovation is introduced securely and in line with internal policies and regulatory expectations.
Your responsibilities will include assessing the security implications of emerging technologies such as cloud services, artificial intelligence, automation, blockchain and connected platforms. You will contribute to security reviews, threat modelling, risk assessments and control testing, while identifying vulnerabilities and recommending practical improvements. The role will also involve monitoring the evolving threat landscape, researching new attack techniques and preparing clear reports, briefings and risk summaries for technical and non-technical stakeholders. You may support incident investigations, vulnerability management, security architecture reviews and the development of standards, procedures and guidance.
Applicants should have experience in cyber security, information security, technology risk or a related discipline, ideally within financial services or another regulated industry. You will have a sound understanding of security principles, risk management frameworks, identity and access management, cloud security and relevant regulatory requirements. Familiarity with security tools, vulnerability assessment methods and emerging technologies would be advantageous. Strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to manage competing priorities and explain complex issues clearly. Professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, GIAC or equivalent experience are desirable. This is an excellent opportunity for a curious and proactive security professional to influence how new technology is adopted safely and responsibly.
