  • Deliver advanced penetration tests across varying environments (web app, inf, cloud)
  • Play a key role in new and existing service line development.
  • Collaborate with a team of brilliant minds to contribute to in-house testing methodologies.
  • Stay ahead of emerging threats and continuously sharpen your skills
  • Continuously attain industry recognised certifications. (with support, of course)
  • Play a part in the mentoring (not management) of junior penetration testers.

Why Cyber Security Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Cyber security used to be viewed primarily as a technical discipline: firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection, penetration testing. In the UK today, it’s far broader. Organisations now face complex legal frameworks, ethical dilemmas, human-behaviour risks, communication challenges & usability hurdles. This shift means cyber security careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. From protecting NHS patient records to defending financial services, securing supply chains & safeguarding national infrastructure, cyber security now touches every sector. Employers increasingly want professionals who understand law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design alongside traditional technical skills. In this article, we’ll explore why UK cyber security careers are expanding in this way, how these five disciplines shape the profession, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this new landscape.
