About Us

The Natural History Museum is both a world-leading science research centre and the most visited natural history museum in Europe. With a vision of a future in which both people and the planet thrive, it is uniquely positioned to be a powerful champion for balancing humanity's needs with those of the natural world.

About the role

Our Technology Solutions department are looking for an enthusiastic Information Security Analyst to join the team.

As a part of the Information Security team, you will take a significant role in securing the Museum's data and services, helping the Museum to achieve its goals in delivering cutting edge science and engagement, to help create a future where people and planet thrive.

You will work with technical and non-technical staff across the Museum to increase security awareness, improve working processes and spread best practice, acting as a point of escalation for information security incidents as well as working with external specialists during penetration testing, or to ensure security consideration is delivered in key service projects.

You will manage and utilise a range of platforms to help prevent, detect and remediate threats, scan for vulnerabilities, test and manage compliance and identify improvements. This is a great opportunity to increase your exposure to a wide range of information security platforms - both commercial and open source tools including intrusion prevention, anti-malware, email protection, cloud native security tools and others.

As well as being an exciting time to join a growing Information Security team, this position offers the opportunity to make a difference, with support to learn and master new technologies available from the wider Technology Solutions team of network, infrastructure and platform specialists, analysts and support staff, and opportunity to apply your technical skills to support the Museum strategy and our mission to create advocates for the planet.

About you

You will be an proactive and motivated Information Security professional, with an interest in the cyber security field, and a demonstrable understanding of the global threat climate.

You will be capable of engaging at any level, whether offering practical advice to colleagues on remediation, or providing input into reports or intranet notices to raise cross Museum awareness.

You will have some development skills and an interest in automation will be an advantage. The environment includes alert flows integrated using tools including Microsoft Flow/PowerApps, Powershell and Python.

Your experience across a range of networking, Windows, Linux and related services will be a benefit. Even more important is your ability to learn quickly and adapt, coupled with the drive to further develop your skills.

 

Closing Date: 9am on Tuesday 17 August 2021 Interviews expected 25 - 26 August
