| Right now we’re fighting another world wide war. Not on the fields of Paschendale, the beaches of Dunkirk or the streets of Basra. This one’s in cyberspace. Online has become the new front-line. If your interests and expertise lie in computer security and Information Assurance (IA), then our 450 strong CESG division is the definitive destination. Part of GCHQ, we’re the UK's National Technical Authority (NTA) for IA and have overall responsibility for protecting and promoting the vital interests of the UK by providing advice and assistance on the security of communications and electronic data. As Cryptographic Consultant, We’ll look to you to analyse products and systems from the initial design stage through to final evaluation in order to identify and address potential vulnerabilities. Our customers include central government, government departments and agencies, as well as many other organisations whose computers are critical to the UK’s national infrastructure – such as power, water and communications businesses. Quite simply, our brief is to safeguard current systems from risk and intrusion, and to future-proof systems against potential threat. We work with - and indeed help develop - vanguard technologies which deliver robust solutions that help protect Britain's well-being. And our expertise covers the full spectrum of IA work, creating an equally wide range of opportunities, many of which are unique to our organisation. In return for meeting these unique challenges you’ll receive equally impressive support, including mentoring, shadowing, personalised training and the chance to study for professional qualifications.
