About The Cyber Security Team Our cyber security team are the eyes and ears of our organisation. We use the newest technologies to increase visibility and protection of systems, services, and data. To do this we need to stay ahead of the latest threats and continuously improve our tooling, techniques, and processes. Responsible for developing and running security processes day-to-day for the Tesco Group, we’re continually working to step change security capability to further enhance the protection and controls that we offer for our customers and colleagues across the UK, Europe and Asia, and we’re looking to add phenomenal people to our growing team.

We encourage and support continual development, learning, and recognise the importance of keeping up with changes in technology and an evolving threat landscape.
