About us

GCHQ is an intelligence, cyber and security agency with a mission to keep the UK safe. We use cutting-edge technology, ingenuity, and partnerships to identify, analyse and disrupt threats. Working with our intelligence partners, MI5 and MI6, we protect the UK from terrorism, cyber-attacks and espionage.

At GCHQ youll do varied and fascinating work in a supportive and inclusive environment that emphasises teamwork.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), part of GCHQ, is the UK Governments lead authority on cyber security. The organisation is at the heart of the Governments cyber security strategy and aims to make the UK the safest place to live and work online.

Job description

The role

As a Cyber Security Analyst at the NCSC, youll be at the heart of the UKs cyber defence. Working alongside industry, intelligence partners, international allies, and law enforcement, youll help prevent, disrupt and investigate the most serious cyber threats facing the UK. In this role, youll tackle complex challenges using a range of techniques supported by our unique access to data, capabilities and legal authorities.

Developing a detailed understanding of how hostile cyber actors operate sits at the core of this role, alongside working collaboratively with colleagues to deliver reliable, evidence-based guidance to expert communities across the UK and internationally. Within an Agile environment, youll work on a variety of projects, helping to build insight into adversaries intent, capabilities and the vulnerabilities they target. By analysing threats and trends, and identifying patterns and connections, your work supports the development of a comprehensive view of the cyber threat landscape. Sharing this insight is key to strengthening defences and countering those who seek to do harm to the UK.
