German Speaking Cyber Security Analyst

Who you'll be working with
With incidents of cyber-crime frequently in the news, Capgemini's clients are increasing conscious of the need to protect their systems and data. The successful applicant for this role will join Capgemini's Inverness based UK Security Operations Team, which in turn forms part of the Company's Global Cybersecurity Unit.

The Highland Security Operations Centre (HSOC) has proven highly successful since its formation in 2014 and serves a range of government and commercial clients headquartered in the UK and Continental Europe.


The focus of your role
Cyber-attacks are often performed by exploiting known security vulnerabilities in a client's infrastructure.

Vulnerability Management aims to identify and mitigate known risks and is one of the key services delivered by the HSOC to a range of clients. Working within an established team you will be focused on assessing client infrastructure, identifying and researching threats and reporting on vulnerabilities to safeguard our client's networks.

The role is full time with a 37.5 hour week worked Monday to Friday Core Hours. As part of the mutualised HSOC team HMG security vetting clearance at SC level is required. Successful applicants not already in possession of SC will need achieve this during their probation period; HSOC staff will assist and advise.

Please note that whilst some opportunity to work from the Nairn office does now exist, all training will be done in Inverness. Inverness is the base location for this role and you will need to spend time with the bulk of the team who are based there. The HSOC does now have office space in Nairn and there are plans during 2018 to refurbish this into a second Highland SOC.
