About the Role

As Codan’s Cyber Security Administrator – EMEA, you will support the EMEA region with a strong focus on cyber security operations and services. Reporting locally to the IT Lead – EMEA, with a functional reporting line to the Head of Cyber, this role works closely with regional and global teams to ensure secure, reliable, and compliant technology services.

You will play a key role in the day-to-day operation of cyber security platforms, incident triage, vulnerability management, and regional security escalation. The role balances business-as-usual cyber operations with project support and continuous improvement initiatives, contributing to Codan’s global cyber posture.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide business-as-usual (BAU) support for cyber security applications, including moves, adds, and changes in line with agreed SLAs.

  • Support and troubleshoot security platforms, including EDR, endpoint patching, web filtering, firewalls, and identity security solutions.

  • Act as the regional escalation point for cyber security incidents and platform issues.

  • Perform security incident triage when required and support investigations and remediation activities.

  • Assist with vulnerability management, risk reporting, and operating system and application patching.

  • Support the delivery of cyber security projects and review broader IT initiatives through a cyber security lens.

  • Monitor cyber security vulnerability and threat intelligence relevant to the EMEA region.

  • Collaborate with global cyber, IT, and business teams to ensure alignment with Codan’s security standards and practices.

    About You

    You are a motivated cyber security professional with experience in security operations and platform support, who enjoys working in a global, collaborative environment. With a degree in Cyber Security, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field - or equivalent practical experience - you bring strong technical capability, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to problem-solving.

    You are comfortable working across geographically dispersed teams and communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You align strongly with Codan’s values of Can Do, High Performing, Customer Driven, and Trust and Integrity, and are eager to contribute to improving cyber security outcomes across the organisation.

    The role may require travel and you must hold, or be eligible to obtain, UK Security Clearance.

    Benefits and Culture

    Our culture is supportive and collaborative. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team where we share our ideas and innovation is strongly encouraged. We are looking for someone with genuine passion for the job and a “can-do” attitude. Our staff receive:

How Many Cyber Security Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cyber Security Job?

If you are trying to build or move forward in a cyber security career, it can feel like the list of tools you are expected to know never ends. One job advert asks for SIEM platforms, another mentions penetration testing tools, another lists cloud security, threat intelligence platforms, endpoint detection, scripting languages and compliance frameworks. Scroll LinkedIn and it gets worse. Everyone seems to “know” dozens of tools, certifications and platforms. Here is the reality most cyber security hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every tool. They are hiring you because you understand risk, can think like an attacker and a defender, follow process, communicate clearly and make good decisions under pressure. Tools matter — but only when they support those outcomes. So how many cyber security tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific and how to focus your learning so you look credible, not overwhelmed.

The Skills Gap in Cyber Security Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Cyber security has become one of the most critical disciplines in the modern economy. From protecting financial systems and healthcare data to securing national infrastructure, cloud platforms and supply chains, cyber security professionals now sit at the frontline of digital trust. Demand for cyber security talent in the UK has surged. Job vacancies remain high, salaries continue to rise, and organisations across every sector report difficulty hiring skilled professionals. Yet despite this demand, many graduates struggle to break into cyber security roles and employers consistently report that candidates are not job-ready. The problem is not intelligence, ambition or academic effort. It is a persistent and widening skills gap between university education and real-world cyber security work. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in cyber security.
