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 believe that skilled and passionate people are our greatest asset in reducing risk to our business and customers. We encourage and support continual development, learning, and recognise the importance of keeping up with changes in technology and an evolving threat landscape.
Communication is key – working collaboratively with our software and systems engineering teams to support security throughout the development lifecycle, as well as to build proactive monitoring and responses to security events.
An exciting opportunity to join a leading Technology company and play an influential part in their continued dedication to Application Security.
