Cyber Security Analyst

Location: Leeds (3 days per week in the office)

Salary: £45,000–£50,000

Contract: Permanent, full-time

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Cyber Security Analyst to join an established law firm’s security team, helping protect the firm’s IT infrastructure, data and services against evolving cyber threats.

Working alongside a team of around six analysts, you’ll play a key role in security monitoring, threat intelligence, vulnerability management and incident response, working collaboratively with IT teams across the business to maintain a strong security posture.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor emerging cyber threats and implement appropriate measures to protect the firm.
• Maintain vulnerability and remediation records, ensuring risks are prioritised and addressed.
• Support penetration testing activities, coordinating remediation of identified vulnerabilities.
• Maintain and improve security tools, policies, controls and procedures.
• Work with infrastructure and IT teams to ensure systems are secure, patched and maintained.
• Support cyber security incident response, investigations and business communications.
• Keep up to date with emerging threats, security technologies and industry best practice.
• Work with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to deliver effective security services.
• Operate within an ITIL-focused environment, working to agreed SLAs and KPIs.

About You

You’ll have experience in IT security and a good understanding of security technologies, infrastructure and cyber security principles. We’re looking for someone analytical and proactive, with a genuine interest in identifying threats and improving security.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Knowledge of security technologies such as SIEM, firewalls, EDR, threat intelligence and vulnerability management.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Azure security tools, including Sentinel and Defender.
• An understanding of security risk, incident response and vulnerability remediation.
• Awareness of infrastructure technologies, including Windows Server, VMware, Linux and networking.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail and effective communication.
• The ability to work collaboratively with technical teams and wider business stakeholders.

Experience within a law firm or professional services environment would be beneficial but is not essential. Relevant qualifications such as Security+, SSCP or Network+ would also be advantageous.

The Organisation

Join an internationally established law firm that values collaboration, innovation and professional development, offering a supportive and inclusive working environment.
