About the Role:

The Intelligence Analyst Internship is fully remote and requires no travel. Your work location is the city/town/province you will be working from remotely. Interns are also invited to work out of the CrowdStrike office located closest to their remote location.

What You'll Do:

The team you are applying to – the Applied Research Cell (ARC) — lives at the intersection between software engineering, malware analysis, and cyber threat intelligence connecting the two worlds of reverse engineering and forward engineering. To that extent we are working closely with different teams from the wider mission with the end-goal of tracking the most advanced threat actors and ultimately stopping breaches.

ARC Interns will be assisted during the development of projects with well-defined deadlines. The goal is to approach the following topics:

  • Conducting and evaluating open source research on cyber threats.

  • Learning cyber security concepts and threat actor Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs).

  • Conducting research on predetermined malware families and learning about various triage techniques.

  • Developing tools and integrating them to high-scale malware processing pipelines.

The internship will be scoped in a project to be completed during 12 weeks.

What You'll Need:

  • Currently completing your penultimate year of University (2027 graduate) and be working towards a BA or BS / MA or MS degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Math, Information Security, Information Assurance, Information Security Management, Intelligence Studies, Cybersecurity, Cybersecurity Policy, or a related field.

  • An eagerness to learn through hands-on experience and collaborative projects specific to your internship field.

  • Although CrowdStrike is a primarily remote company, collaboration is intrinsic to the success of our mission. Therefore, the strongest applicants will be those who can communicate effectively and frequently, and work well with fellow interns and employees.

  • Experience in malware research.

  • Experience with programming (Python, C or similar languages).

Bonus Points:

  • Having an investigative mindset and desire to stop evil.

  • Self motivated and actively seeking opportunities for growth.

  • Desire to rapidly increase skill set.

  • Crave new and innovative work.

This is a 12 week part-time internship commencing on Monday 5th October and completing on Thursday 24th December.

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

Advertising cyber security jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.

Penetration Tester Jobs in the UK: What Employers Actually Want in 2026

If you are considering a career in this field—or looking to advance within it—it is essential to understand what employers are really looking for in 2026. This guide breaks down the current expectations, required skills, certifications, and practical experience that can help you stand out in a competitive job market.
