As a Senior Information Security Analyst, you will focus on the technical side of information security to ensure IT systems are built and operated in a secure manner.

The Information Security team monitors live operations, creating and reacting to alerts and anomalies identified through automated tools or manual analysis.

The Security Operations Centre (SOC) owns the end to end process from alert to resolution and are a major part of the cyber incident management process. As such, they are both a reviewer of alerts and the resolver group, not necessarily fixing, but certainly identifying the issue.

As part of SOC function, you will work closely with the engineering team to define tool requirements and onboard new functionality. You will also collaborate with colleagues in governance and compliance to ensure appropriate data usage.

We use industry-leading, enterprise tools to identify threats, along with in-house scripts and internet research. The day-to-day work is fast-paced and dynamic, responding to business priority and threat landscape changes.

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.
