Talanos Cybersecurity is a Managed Security Service Provider with clients in the financial services and IT sectors. We are a global team of security professionals and engineers committed to helping organisations of all sizes prepare, protect, detect and respond in the face of growing cybersecurity threats. Our Security Operations Centres are located in England, South Africa and India.

We are looking for a capable Cybersecurity Analyst, who enjoys security monitoring, solving puzzles and possesses a wide understanding of technology components and how they work together.
