Summary
An exciting job role exists in the inclusive and innovative Cyber and Security Team as a Cyber Vulnerability Manager. This post is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to develop and progress their careers.
The Cyber Vulnerability Manager will be responsible for limiting the Army’s exposure to vulnerabilities by identifying, assessing, and mitigating vulnerabilities within a variety of systems across the Army Digital Enterprise. This will involve collaborating with a variety of stakeholders both internal and external to the Army to remediate vulnerabilities in a timely manner on behalf of the Army Chief Information Security Officer. You will contribute to future development of Army policy and processes in this area to prevent future vulnerabilities or limit their impact.
Secure behaviours play an integral role in protecting both the UK, and our Armed Forces, against external and internal threats. Through this role, you will have the opportunity to develop a broader understanding of the security risks facing the Army across the cyber domains. You will also become a member of the Government Security Profession, and there are further opportunities for continued professional development.
We are looking for a talented and motivated individual who is a team player but is equally comfortable working on their own to assure physical, personnel, cyber and information security and ensure confidentiality, integrity and availability of Army operated and managed systems and networks.
The successful candidate must be comfortable engaging with wider Defence, Government, and industry. Occasional travel within the UK will be required but this will rarely demand overnight stays.
The successful candidates will be required to:
Engage with all available sources to identify, triage, and prioritise vulnerabilities on Army systems
Identify and communicate mitigation measures and provide direction and guidance on ways to implement or improve controls, reducing risk
Collaborate with stakeholders to manage vulnerabilities and undertake remediation activities
Communicate common mitigation strategies such as patching and basic configuration change (system hardening)
Research new and emerging vulnerabilities, such as Zero Day events, to assess the risk to the Army
Identify areas for improvement in the Army’s Vulnerability Management process and tooling to develop future policy and guidance
If you are a strong communicator able to engage with stakeholders across government, work efficiently and at pace, across multiple IT systems and security classifications, we need you!
This post is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to develop and progress their careers. Appropriate training courses will be provided to ensure the candidate has the skills and knowledge required to perform the role. The MOD offers support and development in your career, including training as part of your role. In the Army we are passionate about delivering great things for our people. But we also know you will have a life outside of work; we respect your priorities and are committed to flexible working practices to give you freedom to balance work and life.
Please note, candidates will be redirected to the Civil Service Jobs website where you will need to submit your application form.
