Senior Cybersecurity Engineer required by my Financial Services client.


This is a an 'outside' IR35 contract role which is remote first, with infrequent travel to the City of London.


This role sits in a small UK Security Engineering function and will involve a balance between project work, 'tactical' improvements and BAU work, with a slight bias towards project work.


Key current and upcoming projects are in the following areas:

* Privileged Access Management (PAM)

* Data Loss Prevention (with an element of AI)

* Managed Services Security Providers (MSSP)

* Network segmentation


This role would suit someone with a security engineering background across projects and BAU, an ability to contribute to design and an ability to work effectively as part of a small team in a fast-paced, closely regulated environment.


I have a full JD I can share once we've spoken, but these are the key requirements:


* Endpoint Detection and Response, WAF, Privileged Access Management, Cloud Security, CASB, Firewalls, SIEM platforms

* Microsoft tech stack - Azure, M365, Windows Server 201202022, OnPrem EntraID

* Security framework knowledge across NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS controls, MITRE ATT&CK

* Familiarity with secure architecture principles, zero trust and cloud security

principles and settings.


This is an urgent requirement, so please apply without delay if this is of interest.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Cyber Security: Guarding the Digital Frontier

The cyber security landscape has evolved dramatically over the past decade. Long gone are the days when businesses primarily worried about simplistic phishing or basic website defacements. Today’s threats include nation-state attacks, sophisticated ransomware, AI-generated phishing campaigns, and a wide array of stealthy intrusion methods. Organisations must defend vast digital ecosystems that include cloud infrastructure, IoT devices, and critical operational technology—any of which can become high-value targets for malicious actors. Amid these escalating challenges, a new technological wave is emerging: quantum computing. Although still in its infancy, quantum computing promises capabilities that could surpass even the most advanced classical supercomputers for specific tasks. Simultaneously, in the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI)—where data volumes and model complexity are exploding—quantum’s parallelism could significantly boost analysis, training, and decision-making. What unfolds when quantum computing and AI converge in the realm of cyber security? On one hand, quantum technologies could introduce stronger encryption and faster threat detection. On the other, adversaries armed with quantum power might break today’s cryptographic protocols or develop more potent attacks at unimaginable speeds. This article explores the phenomenon of quantum-enhanced AI for cyber security: the possibilities it unlocks, the challenges it poses, and the reasons it could reshape both defensive and offensive operations in the digital world.
