Innovate. Iterate. Automate. All in an Azure environment.


You're going to be coming into an environment where things are currently moving too slowly from a security and policy point of view. Policies are taking too long to implement and the wider business can't get things done because of this. You'll be given plenty of autonomy and flexibility to implement policies and systems to make everyone's life easier.


You're not a "red teamer" or a code side engineer but someone who can cover various bases and deliver the change required in the security team currently. You'll come up with new ways of automating policies and certifications like CyberEssentials and ISO into the everyday business systems - this will be your core focus.


This will all be done in a Microsoft environment, working specifically with Azure and other tools like Entrust, Intune and Defender. It's key that you're well versed with these and anything else in this environment - you'll have the choice of what to use and what to implement, but these are the basics.


There's a blank canvas here, so you will be expected to speak up and choose the best course of action, iterating and automating your solution/s. An engineering background would be great, but most importantly you'll have the Azure security fundamentals mentioned above and be a good scripter. IaaC experience would be a huge plus.


You're going to be joining a company with data and technology at the heart of the business. Getting things to their clients efficiently is key and you'll be a key part of that process. There is no in office policy as long as you can go into the office a few times - most of the team work twice a week but you can choose. Salary will be up to £100k plus benefits.

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.
