Cyber Security Analyst (Contract)
Location: Cheltenham (Ideally 1 day per week onsite, with flexibility to 1 day every other week for the right candidate)

The Opportunity
Our client, a leading organization, is seeking an experienced Cyber Security Analyst to join a high-profile programme on an initial 6-month contract.
This role is primarily focused on technical application security assessments, supporting a major project by reviewing a large volume of applications and ensuring they meet security standards before deployment.

- Build, configure, and manage VMware virtual machines to support application testing
- Execute security scans against executables and installation packages
- Identify vulnerabilities and provide clear remediation recommendations
- Use vulnerability management tools (e.g., Qualys or similar) to assess risks
- Support ongoing cybersecurity project delivery within a high-visibility programme
- Assist with Cyber Incident Response activities where required, including:
- Security monitoring
- Investigation
