We are looking for an AWS Security Consultant to join our cloud security team. The role involves providing expert guidance on securing AWS environments, conducting risk assessments, implementing security best practices, and helping the organisation navigate complex security challenges as they scale their cloud infrastructure. You will work closely with key stakeholders, including development, operations, and security teams, to ensure that security is an integral part of the cloud adoption and transformation journey.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Assess AWS infrastructure for vulnerabilities and risks, providing recommendations for improving security posture.
  • Develop and implement tailored cloud security strategies to ensure AWS environments are secure and compliant.
  • Advise on AWS security best practices, including IAM, data protection, encryption, and secure network configurations.
  • Identify security risks and design mitigation strategies; assist with risk assessments to prioritize improvements.
  • 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.
  • Experience securing hybrid or multi-cloud environments.
  • Familiarity with securing Docker, Kubernetes, and EKS.
  • Experience with CSPM tools (Prisma Cloud, CloudHealth) for security posture management.
  • Expertise in designing secure VPCs, managing VPNs, and implementing secure networking in AWS.

If you’re an experienced AWS Security Consultant with a passion for securing cloud environments and advising on best practices, we want to hear from you!

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.
