About Mindgard

Mindgard is a London-based startup specializing in AI security. 

Our mission is to secure the future of AI against cyber attacks. We've spun-out from a leading UK university after a decade of R&D, and are among the first few companies globally to offer solutions to this rapidly growing problem. 

The Role

We're seeking an experienced Security Analyst who is passionate about helping security teams and developers keep AI powered systems secure. Prior AI experience is useful, but not essential.

Today's software often benefits from AI components. AI also introduces new security risks to control. Security teams need visibility, help triaging, and assistance mitigating the new threats introduced by AI.

You will provide actionable analysis for AI vulnerabilities for information security professionals, including: simple explanations, severity analysis, threat models, proofs of concept for use in attacks, and  mitigations.

As part of our collaborative and friendly AI Security R&D team, you'll build the AI security intelligence and detection techniques that power Mindgard's products. You'll work closely with experts in AI security vulnerabilities and red teaming techniques.

What you will be doing:

  • Adding security intelligence for the latest AI security vulnerabilities to the Mindgard product.
  • Making cutting-edge AI security research actionable for security teams.
  • Spotting, validating, and triaging new emerging AI security threats from the community.
  • Developing proofs of concept for potential security vulnerabilities.
  • Responsibly disclosing vulnerabilities with AI vendors, builders, and the open source community.
  • Joining customer meetings to understand their AI security concerns. 
  • Advising the product engineering team on security teams requirements and the AI security domain.
  • Writing, editing, and presenting content that helps the community respond to AI security threats.
  • Researching new AI security vulnerabilities and attack techniques.

We're looking for people who are:

  • Kind, to collaborate effectively towards the highest quality outcomes.
  • Passionate about our mission to help security teams with AI security risks.
  • Curious, to deepen your understanding of AI security.
  • Pragmatic, helping our customers make the best security tradeoffs.

You'll need to be:

  • A domain expert in the application security field, including common vulnerabilities such as XSS, SSRF, RCE, SQL Injection, Deserialization, etc.
  • Experienced with security team processes, practices such as threat modeling, and use of tooling such as SAST/DAST/SCA/CSPM/ASPM.
  • Comfortable writing vulnerabilities disclosures and crafting security exploits.
  • Familiar with responsible disclosure processes.
  • Capable of writing code and configuring systems to automate your work and produce proof of concepts.

You'll stand out if you have:

  • Expertise in AI or AI security.
  • Worked in a SaaS product startup.

Maths for Cyber Security Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for cyber security jobs in the UK it can feel like “real security people” must be brilliant at maths. The reality is simpler: most roles do not need degree-level pure maths. What they do need is confidence with a small set of practical topics that show up repeatedly in day-to-day work across SOC, incident response, cloud security, AppSec, threat detection, IAM & security engineering. This guide strips the maths down to what actually helps you get hired. It includes a 6-week learning plan plus portfolio projects you can publish to prove the skills. You will focus on: Number systems & bitwise thinking (binary, hex, bytes, XOR) Modular arithmetic basics (enough to understand how modern crypto “works”) Probability & statistics for detection, triage & risk Discrete maths for logic, sets, graphs & complexity Security maths habits: estimation, false positive control & evidence-led reporting You will not waste time on heavy theory that rarely appears in junior or mid-level cyber security roles.

Neurodiversity in Cyber Security Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Cyber security is all about thinking like an attacker, spotting unusual patterns, protecting systems & responding calmly when everything looks like it’s on fire. It’s a discipline built on curiosity, persistence & noticing things other people miss. That’s exactly why it can be such a good fit for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a security role. In reality, the traits that can make traditional office work tough often line up beautifully with cyber security work – from hyperfocus in incident response to meticulous analysis in threat hunting. This guide is written for cyber security job seekers in the UK. We’ll look at: What neurodiversity means in a cyber context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to different security roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence during applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in cyber security – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine superpower.

Cyber Security Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the cyber security jobs market in the UK is changing fast. Attackers are scaling up with automation & AI, cloud estates are more complex, & regulators are tightening expectations around resilience & data protection. At the same time, budgets are under pressure & some organisations are consolidating their tech teams. Despite all this, demand for cyber security skills remains strong. Skilled defenders, engineers & leaders are still hard to find, & the stakes are only getting higher. Whether you are a cyber security job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building security teams, understanding the key cyber security hiring trends for 2026 will help you make better decisions.
