The Team

At Aflac Northern Ireland, we are building a diverse, multi-function Cyber Security Team to support our Global Security Program protecting our customers in the US & Japan.

The Aflac NI Security Team has taken ownership of key components of the security program and are integrating with the Global Security Team to strengthen existing functions and build new capabilities.

We're aiming to gather one of Belfast's most diverse line-ups of adaptable and talented people to focus on the penetration testing side of Cyber Security.

We're looking for individuals who can think on their feet, see the attack surface, replicate, innovate and push boundaries.

The intention is for our teams to continually adapt and reinvent their skills and capabilities over time as technologies change and evolve.
