Cyber & Security at BarclaysEvery day in Cyber & Security presents new challenges. This is an exciting place to be: hackers constantly attempt to find new ways to threaten our security, and we never rest in learning new ways to prevent them. And those threats dont just come from viruses and fraudsters. Our work touches on terrorism, world events, and upheaval in the external economic climate. As the world around us changes, we have to be prepared and ready to respond. All of which will make your work with us endlessly interesting and deeply significant.The Cyber & Security teams within our Chief Security Office range from Cyber & Physical Security to Resilience, Crisis Management, Security Operations and Intelligence and more. Everyone is focused on defending the bank. That might mean playing a proactive role, such as researching potential threats from hackers. Or it might mean a reactive role, such as responding to incidents that might challenge our security.
