  • Reporting & Analysis: Contribute to cyber threat analysis and reporting, helping identify trends and areas for improvement in security protocols.
  • Network Security Maintenance: Assist in configuring, maintaining, and troubleshooting security systems within the MoD's IT infrastructure.
  • Support Senior Engineers: Work closely with senior engineers and SOC analysts, assisting with technical tasks and gaining valuable on-the-job experience.

  • Incident Response: Some experience or interest in responding to security incidents and monitoring network activity for threats.
  • Networking Fundamentals: Familiarity with network protocols and concepts (e.g., IPSEC, BGP, OSPF) is advantageous.
  • Analytical Skills: Ability to analyse data from multiple sources and identify potential security risks.
  • Problem-Solving: Strong troubleshooting skills and a proactive approach to resolving security issues.
  • Willingness to Learn: A desire to continually develop your skills and grow your knowledge in cyber defence.
