Job overview
We use technology and connected devices every single day.

Networks, computers, programs, hardware and software, and the information stored on them, need protection from theft, damage, disruption and misdirection.

This protection is called Cyber Security and any technology or device which connects to the internet, or an internal network/intranet needs such protection.

Cyber Security plays a key role in today's data-driven world. Our team helps keep London's transportation system safe & secure.

You'll contribute to the development, improvement and security of our technology, making sure the technologies our customers use every single day to get around are working effectively.

What will I be doing?

As an apprentice, your 2-year, development programme will be made up of a series of placement rotations throughout the Cyber Security team, for example: with the Security Operations Centre (SOC), the Advisory team, the Cyber Engineering team and the Assurance team.

Our aim is to give you the skills and breadth of experience you need for your successful career. We also understand that everyone's career is different, so every apprentice's journey is unique.

Here's an idea of what yours could look like:

Year 1

Placement 1 - SOC - 12 Months

Responding to security alerts and tickets
Working with SIEM tool and designing alerts
Assisting with vulnerability management
Researching threats and creating threat intelligence reports
Assisting with security incidents

Placement 2 - Assurance - 4 Months

Policies, procedures and guidance
Ensure policies are up to date and the corresponding procedures and guidance can be understood and implemented by all colleagues
3rd party supplier assurance Ensure our suppliers who provide a service to TfL are adhering to any cyber security clauses within their respective contract
Help to coordinate penetration testing against TfL's environments to best help security efforts

Placement 3 - Advisory - 4 Months

Oversee the lifecycle of a project providing cyber security advice to both, IT and OT projects
Reviewing high level and lowlevel designs
Facilitating security testing
Supporting incident response exercising
Conduct cyber security assessments
Supporting cyber security awareness activities

Placement 4 - Engineering - 4 Months

The engineering function feeds directly into the SOC, responsible for developing the use cases/alerts used by the SOC to respond
Ensure the various tools used by the Cyber Security team are running and being used as effectively as possible
Monitor the logs of the TfL estate and correlate to the current threats being used by attacker to generate effective and preventative alerts

There is flexibility for apprentices to tailor their scheme to their interests, with several placements available within the various Cyber Security teams.

We are aware that some apprentices start with, or develop during their placements, an interest to a technology area and we want to ensure you get the most from your apprenticeship with TfL.

We recommend the first placement be within the SOC team.

This will teach you important, foundational skills and develop your understanding of corporate cyber security whilst also providing you valuable hands-on experience.

This placement will also give you chance to learn how the TfL Cyber Security Operations Centre works and protects our infrastructure and services.

Where can this career take me?
Upon successful completion of this scheme, you could roll-off into a role as a Cyber Security Analyst which could lead to further career development opportunities, such as Senior Cyber Security Analyst, Cyber Secu
