Location: Cambridge
Salary: Competitive + Excellent Benefits
Contract: Permanent
Awerian provides research and development services that extend and enhance the ability of the United Kingdom and its Allies to defend themselves and to protect the future prosperity of their citizens including Cyber Security, which is crucial for the success of businesses and governments as well as national and personal safety.
Cyber security requires innovative approaches that consider not only the robustness of software but also the associated hardware, technological infrastructure and user interaction.
Awerian’s deep understanding of the connections between software, hardware and intersecting infrastructure can reveal system vulnerabilities that could be exploited to influence behaviour, extract protected information or to insert malicious programs, even if the software itself is robust. Performing Cyber Vulnerability Investigations and designing secure devices and protocols ultimately enables integrated whole system solutions.
Awerian has experience in developing such solutions working with leading industry and national defence partners to assess critical systems for potential vulnerabilities and contributing a novel mix of cyber defence techniques that incorporate both software and hardware solutions, which often utilise Awerian’s physics-based capabilities, to go far beyond the typical “IT approach” to cyber security.
Requirements
Do you have an innate curiosity about how the world works? Are you excited to find solutions to difficult problems? Do you take things apart, put them together again to see why and how they do what they do?
