“A bit over a year ago I decided that I wanted to switch careers towards something I have always been passionate about: technology. Starting a new job in cyber: as Compliance Executive with the amazing and dynamic team.
I am extremely happy. It feels very rewarding to finally bring in my interest in tech, legal and philosophy together in a role where I can make a difference, and to an organisation which uses technology to do better and to innovate. Cheers to this new step!”

From Researcher to Compliance Executive
You will undertake the course as a Trainee Cyber Security Consultant, working in a small team to solve real hands-on problems with the support of experienced instructors.
You will work within a case-study business which simulates the real cyber security workplace.
Understand why cyber security exists and where it sits within an organisation. You will learn how cyber security is measured, how to help organisations develop effective cyber security culture, and be introduced to threats such as social engineering. In the first 2 weeks, you will get to know your team mates and develop the foundations of your cyber security understanding.
We introduce you to governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), and how these concepts underpin the existence of cyber security. You'll develop your networking fundamentals and begin to consider an organisation's security architecture by working on real scenario-based problems.
Now halfway through the course, you will have developed a good understanding of cyber security principles. Using that knowledge, you will begin to work on more complex exercises, such as Endpoint Protection, Cloud Security, Digital Forensics, Access Control and other applied security areas. You will use your new skills from problem areas 1-2 in new scenarios to further develop your understanding.
You will continue to develop your understanding of the cyber security threat landscape and apply this understanding in the context of penetration testing (often referred to as red teaming or ethical hacking) and security operations (often known as blue-teaming or SOC). You will learn how to apply skills such as reconnaissance, malware analysis, threat intelligence, and log analysis in simulated scenarios.
In this final problem area, you will use all of your new skills to tackle big picture problems such as incident management & response and strategic business resilience. You will also consider topics such as physical security and industrial control systems.
