Job Description

Our global team of cybersecurity professionals includes former law enforcement officials, forensic investigators, intelligence analysts, data scientists, malware analysts, legal professionals and industry leaders in cybersecurity and privacy. We are rated as a leader by multiple industry analysts for Global, EMEA and Asia-Pacific Cybersecurity Consulting services.
Our Cyber Incident Response practice is central to this. Our team supports PwC's clients in crisis across our global network to respond, remediate and recover from cyber attacks.

We are accredited by the UK National Cyber Security Centre under the Cyber Incident Response scheme, to respond to sophisticated attacks on networks of national significance. Recent incidents we have responded to include human-operated ransomware attacks on some of the world's largest corporations, and state-sponsored intrusions at NGOs. Our investigation work spans cyber crime, corporate espionage and state affiliated threat actors.
Our Cyber Incident Response practice works closely alongside many other of our front-line technical teams to deliver an end to end incident response capability to clients, including our global threat intelligence team, our threat hunting team and our ethical hacking practice. We also work with PwC's dedicated crisis coordination team to provide support to clients at all levels of their organisations.
