Our Intelligence service team is growing and we are looking for a Threat Analyst to join us. Not only is the working environment pretty cool, the work you’ll be doing means you’ll be learning a lot and also working with some really smart people who are happy to share what they know. We also have great coffee.

This role is perfect for that person who literally gets excited about the thought of unpacking an attack, figuring out how they achieved what they did and then taking that information and creating practical defence guides and advice for our clients. If this sounds like you, send me an e-mail.
