To ensure that DCMS can deliver its mission, the department has established the DCMS Cyber Security Group (DCMS-Cyber). A new multidisciplinary cross-departmental cadre of cyber security and intelligence specialists, DCMS-Cyber leads activities to understand, identify and respond to cyber threats. From cyber threat intelligence analysts, to operational policy experts, DCMS-Cyber plays a central role in ensuring that vital services are protected from current and near-future threats.
This is an incredibly exciting time to be part of a new cyber security capability. As a security or intelligence professional, you will have an unparalleled opportunity to apply your skills, shape team activities, and gain significant exposure to senior decision-makers. What’s more, your work will make a real difference in protecting both UK citizens and society as a whole, through the use of your skills to protect vital services.
Are you ready for a challenge?
This represents a unique opportunity for the right candidate to be developed to undertake an exciting, influential and highly visible role, with significant scope for impact.
Like any organisation, DCMS depends on reliable and effective IT systems and services to deliver its mission in driving growth, enriching lives and levelling-up society. However, in the face of a broad range of cyber threats and increasingly complex IT services, there is more need than ever before for security to be at the heart of what we do.
As the Security Architect, you will be a driving force for cyber security best-practice. Through your technical expertise and driven by your understanding of both cyber threats and risks, you will proactively enable key decision makers to make effective cyber security-related decisions. Additionally, you will ensure the implementation of proportionate controls that keep DCMS safe, while enabling it to meet mission and operational requirements.
