**Interested in Cyber Security? Enjoy searching for vulnerabilities in systems? Want to work somewhere that you can really make a difference?**
Your passion and interest in Cyber Security will spur you on to research and discover vulnerabilities within systems to help protect National Security in the UK and overseas.
You’ll ‘Red Team’ a wide range of IT and communication products that HMGCC provides to the British Government. Your knowledge will enable you to find vulnerabilities in software and hardware and ensure you can secure them before they can be exploited.
You’ll work on projects that range from short term security assessments to long term in-depth analysis of complex systems. You’ll work on a wide range of technologies which will require your problem solving skills and determination to tackle new security problems as technologies evolve.
