A great opportunity for a Cyber Security 2nd year student focusing on applying cyber security best practices to a range of cloud services including the Microsoft & Azure security suite. If you are looking for an opportunity to gain hands on experience and learn on the job about security applications, supporting professional services in London and beyond, then we want to hear from you!
ABOUT YOU:
You are a Cyber Security or Computer Science related degree 2nd year student and so will probably have a good grasp of IT fundamentals, such as Hardware and peripherals, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Server, Networking (including LAN, WAN, firewalls and routers).
You are a self-starter with a real passion for learning everything there is to learn about Cyber Security. You're a geek at heart and love to play around with the latest technologies. You get a buzz from solving problems in a busy environment and you understand the importance of excellent client service. You believe that the world can be a better place through the effective use of IT and want to help make that happen.
THE ROLE:
The placement (hybrid working) starts in Summer 2025 and will give you the opportunity to work as part of the IOIT Cyber Security team to provide best in class security controls and guidance to IOIT clients. This is a broad role requiring a technical and analytical mind for working on complex systems whilst also being able to liaise with clients clearly to communicate technical information at a non-technical level.
From investigating potential security issues for clients by analysing logs to deploying systems in a secure and compliant manner, there is plenty of scope to develop for the right candidate.
With no ability to plan what security issues may be raised in any day the opportunity provides a varied role where prioritisation of issues and time management are key.
