My role involved supporting an experienced team in day to day security operations, this varied from investigating malware alerts, managing vulnerability reporting & working with different teams to remediate, and having a large part in our supplier security process.

Throughout the placement I have learnt a significant amount, from a security perspective, analysing phishing attempts, investigating malware alerts and documenting security incidents, managing vulnerabilities across different business functions. Outside of specific security skills, I have improved in my professional research, writing & referencing through creating/editing internal policies, in terms of both wider legal requirements & specific to the financial industry.

At the start of my placement, a lot of time was spent familiarising myself with policies & the different teams across the business, learning a lot without necessarily having responsibilities before proper training. When comfortable with day to day processes, I was quickly given independence and found my responsibilities only grew as time went on, from learning our standard processes to creating my own.

When I was onboarded I was given significant time with the team to familiarise myself with our various workflows, following this I had 1 to 1s with my manager & all members of the team, working alongside them everyday and having morning team wide meetings.

Very positive company wide.

I thoroughly enjoyed working alongside my team and different colleagues, in terms of location, I'd rather work elsewhere in terms of location but the job has made up for it.

Yes

Take your time to get to know everyone and try to get involved as much as possible, take all the responsibility you can get.
