  • Act as an escalation point for security incidents and support triage and remediation.
  • Design and enforce endpoint security controls including encryption and secure configurations.
  • Support identity and access management across Entra ID / Azure AD and Privileged Identity Management.
  • Own vulnerability management processes and reporting.
  • Design and improve security controls based on risk and operational needs.

The Person
With experience in Cyber Security Engineering, Security Operations or Infrastructure Security, you will possess:

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.
