This programme has provided me with a career I had not thought possible as I do not have a technology-based degree, however every day I'm able to learn new skills and take greater opportunities to define my career.

Cyber Security Graduate
Cyber Security
We support our clients to understand and manage their cyber security risk, secure their data and systems, detect and manage their threats and vulnerabilities, and embed operational resilience.
As part of the Technology Consulting team, we help organisations tackle their many security challenges, support risk-based decision making and improve data security and cyber defences. We also support clients with reducing costs related to managing security risks, improving their overall cyber security posture, and recovering from cyber incidents.
Technology in Cyber Security
Organisations increasingly rely on new and disruptive technologies like Cloud, Artificial Intelligence, Operational Technology and Robotic Process Automation to help grow and differentiate themselves. We help organisations that lack effective security measures to manage these changes while maintaining the trust of their customers, stakeholders and the marketplace.
Companies have also had to update business continuity in the current climate, to ensure they are fit for purpose in light of increased remote working and the rise in cyber attacks, including phishing and ransomware.

How’s it structured?
This programme is all about giving you the best experiences and learning opportunities to develop a great career in Cyber Security. After an EY induction, you’ll attend a range of cyber training. We’ll then bring your core consulting skills up to speed and before too long you’ll be working on industry-driven client projects such as our market-leading Third-Party Risk Management services, or projects in other areas including Cyber Strategy and Transformation, Cyber Threat Management, Cyber Resilience, Identity and Access Management, or Privacy and Data Protection.
You’ll have lots of on-the-job training and mentors to guide you through and may even be offered a six-month secondment outside of the Cyber team to learn how another area of our business works. By the end of the programme, you’ll have honed your skills even further, have a good idea of the area or areas you’d like to specialise in and, be a key part of EY’s Cyber Security practice.
Depending on which area you join, you'll get the opportunity to work with diverse clients across different market sectors and geographical locations. In FS, you'll work on projects with our clients in Banking and Capital Markets, Insurance, and Wealth and Asset Management sectors across Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa. Joining our UK&I team will give you the opportunity to work with clients across all other markets, including Government and Public Sector, Consumer Products and Retail, and Power and Utilities to name a few.
