  • Ensure AWS environments meet regulatory standards (e.g., GDPR, PCI-DSS, HIPAA) and advise on compliance implementation.
  • Recommend and set up proactive monitoring, logging, and alerting with AWS-native tools (GuardDuty, CloudWatch), and help develop incident response plans.
  • Guide clients in automating security controls using tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or AWS CDK for secure, repeatable deployments.
  • Provide security training to client teams, ensuring ongoing awareness and effective use of AWS security services.
  • Work with DevOps, development, and infrastructure teams to integrate security throughout the application lifecycle.

Required Skills & Experience:

  • Strong experience with AWS services (EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, Lambda, RDS), with a focus on securing cloud environments.
  • Experience with IAM, encryption, network security, and secure application deployment.
  • Familiar with regulatory frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI-DSS) and ensuring compliance in AWS environments.
  • Ability to identify security risks and recommend mitigations.
  • Experience designing incident response strategies and setting up monitoring tools (GuardDuty, CloudWatch, CloudTrail).
  • Hands-on experience with AWS security tools (e.g., WAF, Shield, GuardDuty) and vulnerability management solutions.
  • Proficient in Terraform, CloudFormation, or AWS CDK for automating security processes.
  • Strong skills in scripting languages (Python, Bash, PowerShell) to automate security tasks.
  • Excellent ability to explain complex security concepts to both technical and non-technical teams.
  • Prior experience in a consulting or advisory role, guiding clients on AWS security practices.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • AWS Certified Security Specialty, AWS Certified Solutions Architect, CISSP, CISM, or similar.

Why Cyber Security Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Cyber security used to be viewed primarily as a technical discipline: firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection, penetration testing. In the UK today, it’s far broader.

This shift means cyber security careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. From protecting NHS patient records to defending financial services, securing supply chains & safeguarding national infrastructure, cyber security now touches every sector. Employers increasingly want professionals who understand law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design alongside traditional technical skills. In this article, we’ll explore why UK cyber security careers are expanding in this way, how these five disciplines shape the profession, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this new landscape.
