What are we building? An AI Executive Assistant

We've built an AI executive assistant that looks at all your emails, messages and meetings, and uses that knowledge to answer your email, schedule meetings, take next steps from meetings and organise your inbox. We turn every employee into a top performer, effortlessly.

What does our ideal hire look like?

We are looking for a Cybersecurity Engineer with at least 2 years of hands-on experience to support our cybersecurity initiatives and help safeguard our digital assets. You will work closely with senior engineers to detect, prevent, and respond to threats while also contributing to the development and enforcement of security best practices.

  • 2+ years of professional experience in cybersecurity, IT security, or a related technical role.
  • Familiarity with cybersecurity frameworks and standards (e.g., NIST, CIS Controls, ISO 27001).
  • Working knowledge of networking, operating systems (Windows/IOS), and security protocols.
  • Experience with one or more security tools (e.g., Splunk, Nessus, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, Wireshark).
  • Basic understanding of cloud security concepts (AWS, Azure, or GCP is a plus).
  • Ability to analyse logs, spot anomalies, and investigate potential threats.
  • Strong troubleshooting and documentation skills.
  • Security certifications such as Security+, CEH, or CySA+ are preferred but not required.
  • Exposure to scripting (Python, PowerShell, Bash) for automation tasks.
  • Experience participating in tabletop exercises or incident simulations.
  • Awareness of emerging cybersecurity threats and attack techniques.

A bit more about what you will be doing:

You'll play a key part in strengthening our security posture by contributing to the development and enforcement of cybersecurity policies and procedures. You'll work closely with our IT and DevOps teams to embed security best practices into systems and software from the ground up.

Your day-to-day will involve assisting in threat hunting, risk assessments, and vulnerability management including running scans, analyzing findings, and supporting remediation plans. You'll actively monitor and respond to security alerts using tools like SIEM, IDS/IPS, and endpoint protection platforms. You'll also be involved in incident response efforts, from investigation and containment to resolution.

In addition, you'll help implement and maintain security controls across systems, networks, and cloud environments, support patch management cycles, and conduct regular audits of system configurations, access controls, and user permissions.

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.

Education

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.
