Information Security Analyst Review

As an Information Security Analyst my role is to help protect the organisation's data, systems and infrastructure. On a day-to-day basis, I promote security awareness training to employees through phishing simulations and awareness articles. I also take part in third-party supplier onboarding process, vulnerability management, policy review, assurance internal audits, PCI-DSS audits, ISO27001 and risk assessments. No day is the same.

All the skills that I have at present, were learnt with my current employer and I am able to continue developing those skills through more exposure.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best, I would say an 8. The programme went hands in hands with my day to day work load and help me understand majority of the processes. Vice versa

The structure of the programme was at a good level in my opinion as I thought a few of the projects were misleading and having to question my DLC at mostly every stage.

I received 100% support from my employer, from a specified day in the week for study and also would give me tasks which went in line with any project I was doing.

My DLC was very supportive and would break things down into simpler terms if it was not understood.

It put me in a much better spot from when I started and gave me the confidence to work independently.

There might be extra-curricular activities at work but I have not explored that part as yet. When it comes to professional networking events, we are encourage to attend or take part.

Yes

The AA has a very good working atmosphere which boost morale. Everyone is treated equally regardless of position.

If you truly believe you can do the job, do not hesitate to apply. The workplace environment is a healthy one.
