Why the Cyber and Security Graduate program?

Join our Cyber Security team within the Chief Security Office, and you’ll have the opportunity to play a key part in keeping our customers, clients, and colleagues safe from cyber-crime. This is a team in which everyone is focused on defending the bank: some are proactive, researching potential threats from hackers, while others play a reactive role in which they respond to incidents that might challenge our security. To gain maximum benefit from your graduate program, you’ll experience many aspects of our work over a two-year period. You can expect three rotations around a variety of teams which might include Cyber & Physical Security, Resilience, Crisis Management, Security Operations and Intelligence, and more. This is an exciting place to be: hackers constantly attempt to find new ways to threaten our security, and we never rest in learning new ways to prevent them. We’re one of the strongest banks for Cyber Security, and this is your opportunity to learn from the best.

We partner with teams across the bank to minimize disruption to our services from threats such as these, and to make sure that any services affected by disruption can bounce back quickly.

As the world around us changes, we are prepared and ready to respond.

This makes our work endlessly interesting, meaningful, and challenging.
