Throughout the two-year programme, you’ll do up to four rotations, before specialising, with roles ranging from penetration testing to security project management.

Expected learnings during this programme:

An understanding of threat intelligence and the common threats facing industry
Common incidents that can occur and how they are responded to
Business support and security program/project management
Security design and architecture
Information security operations
Assurance, penetration testing and code review.

Other skills we’re looking for include:

An understanding of threats that face organisations and how they can be prevented
A quick learner and a team player.
