We recognise that to bring value to our clients, we need to provide the best advice around technological innovation. With us, you’ll be at the forefront of new initiatives and explore emerging technologies and trends to help our clients unlock their potential, protect their businesses, provide insight and help steer strategy.

Cyber Security

In Cyber Security we deal with some of the most urgent issues facing businesses and governments today. We help organisations from all sectors operate securely in the digital world. Our specialist advisors help clients reduce their exposure to threats, improve their defences and respond to cyber incidents. We also help our clients address the legal issues around breaches, data protection and privacy and implement a culture and environment where people understand how to behave securely and do the right thing.

It’s a vast and complex field that involves everything from cyber security strategy and technical design, implementing effective security solutions and processes, to responding to cyber incidents and breaches.

A career in our Threat, Intelligence and Vulnerability Management practice, within Cyber Security and Privacy services, will provide you with the opportunity to help our clients implement an effective cyber security programme that protects against threats, propels transformation, and drives growth. As companies pivot toward a digital business model, exponentially more data is generated and shared among organisations, partners and customers. You’ll play an integral role in helping our clients ensure they are protected by developing transformation strategies focused on security, efficiently integrate and manage new or existing technology systems to deliver continuous operational improvements and increase their cybersecurity investment, and detect, respond, and remediate threats.

Our team helps organisations to rapidly and effectively respond to threats against potential security incidents by helping to detect, respond to, investigate, and remediate threats across the incident management life cycle.

Specialist Advisory - Ethical Hacking

Our Specialist Advisory team is focused on supporting highly technical specialisms which help our clients to detect and respond to vulnerabilities in their IT environments. On this three-year programme you’ll dedicate yourself to the specialism to build up your technical knowledge and experience to be an effective technical cyber security expert. Focusing on highly technical niche services you can help our clients with

  • Ethical hacking to expose vulnerabilities in client IT systems
  • Identifying and monitoring malicious activity on client networks
  • Actively tracking and disrupting cyber threat actors and seeking out new ones
  • Investigating networks which attackers have compromised and removing threat actors.

This is one of our Cyber Security technical specialism programs based within the Ethical Hacking team. Working as an ethical hacker in our Offensive Security team, you will spend your time legally breaking into computer networks, websites, mobile applications, Operational Technology and Internet of Things environments. Aiming to provide specific recommendations to our leading clients (mostly top 500 organisations in the public and private sectors) to help them keep hackers out.

The program will also include some exposure to the work of the incident response team to ensure staff can be effective at providing support in the event of a major incident.
