FCA Cyber & Information Resilience Internship

Cyber security is now considered, both nationally and internationally, to be one of the biggest threats to commerce and society alike. Companies are experiencing a growing threat of cyber-attacks from nation states, organised crime groups, malicious insiders and activists, with the level of sophistication of attack accelerating year on year. The FCA is not immune to this risk and, as a key member of the UK’s financial services sector, we could become a target of interest for cyber criminals or others intent on undermining confidence in the UK financial sector.

Our work

The Cyber and Information Resilience Division protects the whole of the FCA from cyber harm and, preventing criminals from undermining confidence in the UK’s financial sector. This team ensures information is available to those who legitimately need it and make sure it is being used appropriately, as well as defend it from criminals. This is a great opportunity to help us build our capability – and recover from – cyber-attacks, therefore protecting consumers and maintaining market integrity.

Your internship

During the internship you could be working with the Counter Threat Unit on cyber intelligence and incident response, working with the Strategy, Governance and Capability team to make sure colleagues adhere to policy and exhibit the correct behaviours, or be part of Consultancy who consult on change and projects across the organisation, This is both planned and, in some instances, reactive work and will see you deal with live incidents and projects.
