In this article, we explore how to uncover hidden cyber security jobs in the UK using organisations like the BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), CIISec (The Chartered Institute of Information Security), ISACA, and ISC² UK Chapter. We’ll show you how to use membership directories, special interest groups, CPD events and informal networks to gain early access to roles most people never see.
