Are you ready to elevate your cyber security career and make a real impact?

We're exclusively partnering with a leading organisation based in Cambridge who are looking to bring a Security Analyst into their high-performing IT team on a 2 year Fixed Term basis. If you're passionate about cyber security, keen to grow your skills, and want to be part of a team that values your expertise, this could be your next move.

In this role, you'll be front and centre when it comes to threat prevention, detection, and response – a key player in safeguarding the organisation’s infrastructure and data. You won’t just be keeping the lights on – you’ll be actively involved in security projects, contributing ideas, and influencing best practices.

Why apply?

Progression: This isn’t a role where you’ll stagnate. With a strong culture of internal development, you'll be given real support to level up your career – whether that’s new certifications, exposure to cutting-edge tools, or progression opportunities.
Impact: Your work will directly protect and influence a large, reputable organisation that takes security seriously.
Collaboration: Join a skilled and respected IT team where your voice is heard, and your experience is valued.

What you’ll be doing:

Actively hunt for threats and investigate security alerts
Log, track, and respond to security incidents
Be part of ongoing security projects and initiatives
Administer firewalls and support wider IT security functions
Promote best practice across the organisation and escalate as needed

Requirements:

3+ years’ experience in a cyber security-focused role (Security Analyst, SOC Analyst, Security Engineer, etc.)
Hands-on experience with threat hunting, logging, and prevention
Investigate security incidents
Confident communicator with the ability to collaborate and advise
Based within a commutable distance to Cambridge (Driving licence essential)
Full right to work in the UK without any restrictions

This isn’t an entry-level role, so if you’ve already got a solid foundation in security and want to grow within a business that genuinely supports your development – this could be the one for you. Please note this is a 2 year FTC.

If you’re ready to step up, learn more, and be part of a respected organisation with a strong security culture, reach out today.

Contact Andy Clarke at The ONE Group for a full job description and a confidential chat about your next move.

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.
