What you’ll be doing

• Monitor systems, networks, endpoints, and logs for unusual or unauthorised activity, using SIEM, endpoint protection, and other security monitoring tools to maintain continuous visibility of the security environment.
• Act as the initial point of contact for security alerts, triaging, investigating, and assessing vulnerabilities and indicators of compromise, distinguishing between false positives and genuine threats.
• Respond to cybersecurity incidents, performing initial containment and remediation steps where appropriate, and escalating complex incidents to senior IT staff or third‑party security providers as required.
• Support vulnerability management activities, including tracking newly disclosed vulnerabilities (e.g., CVEs), coordinating remediation with system owners, and maintaining visibility of outstanding risks.
• Assist with security governance and compliance, supporting access control reviews, endpoint protection checks, and contribution to policies, standards, and frameworks such as ISO 27001 or NIST.
• Participate in business continuity and disaster recovery activities, including testing incident response plans, defining recovery objectives for critical systems, and ensuring alignment with operational priorities.
• Help deliver security awareness initiatives, providing guidance on safe system usage, phishing prevention, and risk mitigation to staff across the organisation.
• Contribute to security and risk assessments for new tools, platforms, or third‑party suppliers, supporting the implementation of secure configurations and mitigation of potential risks.
