  • Knowledge of endpoint protection, identity management, and basic network security concepts.

Desirable experience includes:

  • Exposure to vulnerability management, SIEM/SOC technologies, Microsoft security technologies (e.g. Defender) or incident reporting systems.
  • Familiarity with Cyber Essentials, or other recognised security frameworks.
  • Security certifications such as CompTIA Security+, CompTIA CySA+, etc, will be looked on favourably.
