Our aim is to become trusted advisors to our clients. 

 

You will help our clients to build cyber resilience, enhance their understanding of the threat landscape and become better prepared to face dynamic and evolving security risks. This will involve being on the front foot of new and emerging threats, and ensuring our clients receive quick feedback as to whether they may be affected and actions they can take.

You will also be required to keep abreast of threat intelligence developments, and work closely with S-RM’s Threat Intelligence and Incident Response teams to integrate key data points into our service.  

 

Support to other teams will be required where ASM is used as a value-add to assessment-based engagements in our Risk & Resilience practice, and also where ASM is used to support incident investigation with our Incident Response practice.  

 

You will be required to work closely with the other managed service teams (Managed Detection and Response and Cyber Threat Intelligence) to ensure that managed service delivery is unified across all three offerings. Through this, you will also be given the opportunity to support and shape the development of the service, by working with the ASM practice lead, managed service teams and technical development teams to identify opportunities for innovation and improvement.
