• Promote best practice across the organisation and escalate as needed

Requirements:

• 3+ years’ experience in a cyber security-focused role (Security Analyst, SOC Analyst, Security Engineer, etc.)

• Investigate security incidents
• Confident communicator with the ability to collaborate and advise
• Based within a commutable distance to Cambridge (Driving licence essential)
