Manchester, United Kingdom NCC Group Full time

Role: Cyber Security Specialist

Division: Consulting & Implementation (C&I)

Role Purpose

At NCC Group, we're committed to creating a more secure digital future. As a Cyber Security Specialist, you'll play a crucial role in delivering world-class cyber security assurance services to our telecoms industry customers worldwide. You'll be part of our Telecommunications Assurance Practice, focussed on improving the cyber resilience of their networks and services.

Typical duties will include security assurance activities such as penetration testing, security analysis, and cutting-edge research into current and evolving network systems and attacks. You may also work closely with our risk assurance colleagues to assist customers in achieving technical compliance with regulatory schemes such as the UK Telecommunication Security Act (TSA).

You'll need to have experience of working within a telecoms environment, ideally in a security role. However, this isn't always a requirement. You may have worked as an engineer in a mobile operator, as a network architect in a fixed line operator, or as a test engineer in a network equipment manufacturer. In this case, you'll need to have a good understanding of network security and a drive to learn more.

Key Accountabilities

You'll spend most of your day thinking about telecommunications systems and how you can expose vulnerabilities that may be used to undermine their operation. This is a very creative job that gives individuals a lot of freedom to be innovative while learning new technologies at a very fast pace.

Engagements could include testing of mobile networks (2-5G), fixed line networks (broadband), optical, transmission, or microwave. NCC Group works with operators and vendors globally in assuring their networks or systems.

Typical engagements will pair you with another experienced security consultant, and you'll learn from each other along the way. Engagements are usually 2-4 weeks long, though can be significantly longer owing to the complexities of the technologies used.

You'll also be a security researcher, with dedicated research time, focussed on telecommunications-related areas of interest (e.g. AI-based network automation, container use in NFVi, protocol robustness, etc.).

The work you do will have enormous impact in making the often critical, telecommunications systems people use more resilient and safer.

Activities

  • Penetration Testing
  • Applied Research
  • Scenario-based testing
  • Threat-Intelligence led Red Teaming
  • Technical input to support regulatory compliance
  • Any other type of bespoke security assurance required

Depending on the job level, you may also need to:

  • Lead complex multi-week or multi-month client engagements
  • Participate in scoping efforts when proposing work for telecommunications projects
  • Mentor other consultants in your areas of expertise
  • Perform final review on deliverables such as reports and whitepapers

What we are looking for in you:

  • Hands-on experience of testing telecommunications networks and systems
  • A good understanding of network security (e.g. VLANs, Firewalls, etc.)
  • Network Security Assessments
  • Security Design Reviews
  • Threat modelling and attack surface enumeration
  • Network protocol reverse engineering
  • Web application security assessment
  • Low-Level application security assessment (firmware, kernel)
  • Exploit research and development
  • Kubernetes security principles
  • NFV technologies including virtualisation (VMWare or OpenStack, etc.)

Behaviors

  • Focusing on Clients and Customers
  • Working as One NCC
  • Always Learning
  • Being Inclusive and Respectful
  • Delivery Brilliantly
  • Enabling Performance
  • Looking Externally
