Overview

This role focuses on vulnerability analysis, OSINT reconnaissance, and security governance, which draw on your investigative discipline and structured analytical approach from policing. However, it requires deep technical knowledge of email security, vulnerability scanning tools, and IT risk mapping that typically demands dedicated cyber security training or certifications, making it a stretch without significant retraining. Your experience with evidence handling and risk assessment is relevant, but the technical depth means you would need to upskill substantially to perform the core duties.
