Overview
Administrating security related systems, cooperating with other teams around the business in our support capacity. We assist in scanning for vulnerabilities around the company with Nessus and also perform Line 1 Incident Response support.
Skills
Many, in every sense. Soft Skills, Powershell, Programming, Corporate Software, patching, vulnerabilities, engineering, Jenkins, AD, Windows, Security, Blue Teaming - Just off the top of my head. I got Cloud Academy, Code Academy and Immersive Labs too.
Responsibilities
A LOT of responsibility, we have admin access to many pieces of security software around the business, have superuser accounts and are responsible for responding to security alerts and taking the role of incident commander in security incidents
Support & Guidance
A lot - my Team, Team Leader and Manager were amazing, I genuinely could not ask for better people to work with - I never could have imagined working with people like this before I started at GR.
Culture
Extremely kind, respectful and with a great attitude towards learning - Naturally there were some ups and downs but day-to-day I was extremely happy and greatly enjoyed the warm atmosphere at the company
Your Impressions
Every single day was fascinating and interesting with new oppurtunities to engage in new and interesting pieces of work and projects. I greatly enjoyed it all.
Yes
Definitely Apply, take your time and just do your best throughout the entire process, it was generally very personal and it involved a lot of phone calls with current staff, managers and your potential team members. Be yourself and don't be too anxious - we're all human.
