Cyber Security Operations Consultant

We are working with a growing Consultancy who are looking to add to their existing Cyber/Information Security team with a number of hires.

The role would require a wide-range of technical knowledge. Whilst not being a hands-on role, you will be required to be a conduit between the technical and non-technical members, assisting with delivery of projects for a number of high profile clients.

KEY SKILLS

Experience in a number of the following areas:

  • Frameworks such as JSP440, JSP604, NIST, ISO27001
  • Knowledge of Secure architecture and what looks good
  • Ability to write policies and understand high-level documentations
  • Risk Assessments/Risk Management

    The above are not exhaustive, nor exclusive but the more wider the knowledge the more your application would have a chance of being successful.

    The role would require people to be on client sites 3-4 days per week, largely across the South West, but sometimes into the City of London area.

    You would also need to be SC cleared as minimum (or eligible to be SC/DV cleared)

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.
