Entry Level Security Services Consultant (Toronto, ON)

Job description

IBM Security is seeking highly talented candidates to fill consultative, client focused, and security services roles.

We are in an era of advanced cybersecurity threats. These threats are persistent and continuously evolving. You need only read the newspaper to know how ever present and sophisticated hackers are today. The attacks are increasing in complexity and the impacts of security breaches on organizations can be devastating. Yesterday's reactive security programs no longer equip organizations to approach security in a dynamic, strategic manner.

At IBM, our clients have security in mind and your job is to help them get there. As part of IBM's security team, you will work with teams and clients as they transform organizational security. We're driven by more than just providing security solutions for organizations. We want our clients to succeed.

·  Bringing together the world's largest consulting practice with industry-leading security research capabilities
·  Enriching business consulting with advanced security research, analytics and technologies
·  Solving complex client challenges and providing holistic solutions that incorporate people, processes, and technologies to improve security posture
·  Teaming on all phases of engagement to monitor, detect, plan, build, implement, and support advanced security solutions
·  Establishing new, flexible, and iterative approaches that only IBM can offer through our unique combination of skills, experiences and capabilities
·  Providing our clients with an integrated approach to business design and execution, turning strategies into actions
Your Role and Responsibilities:

As a candidate in IBM Security's Cybersecurity Early Professional (CEP) 2020 Program , you will get exposure to multiple teams, job functions, and roles within IBM Security Services. As part of this program you will receive exceptional training working closely with senior consultants and leadership in a variety of roles following the initial 2 months of onboarding and education. Job functions and responsibilities may include shadowing IBM Security consultants and participating in client engagements, assisting with client deliverables, working on RFPs, participating in client meetings, and providing recommendations to improve their security posture. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to learn about and interact with the different practices that make up IBM Security Services to further build your knowledge and skills in security and prepare you for a career in IBM Security. IBM Security practices include Security, Strategy, Risk and Compliance (SSRC), Identity and Access Management (IAM), Data and Application Security (DAS), Infrastructure and Endpoint Security (IES), Security Intelligence and Operations (SIOC), Managed Security Services (MSS), Portfolio Management, Cloud Security, and XForce Red and IRIS.

Throughout the program you will receive exceptional technical, consulting, and industry solution training, hands-on experience, project participation, and structured mentorship that will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to make an immediate impact and achieve individual growth as a leader. Interacting with our security professionals will provide you the opportunity to gain further experience. Please note, participants may be required to travel up to 50% during the program.
