We’re hiring!

Join Aon as a Cyber Consulting graduate and become a vital part of Aon’s Cyber Solutions team where you will be exposed to a range of industries, business contexts, technical environments, and enterprise networks, working alongside our experienced consultants.

We recognise the learning, development, and social value for our Early Career colleagues of being in the office environment from the start of their programme. All our graduates will spend most of their time in the office and occasional time working from home or a client site.

Aon is in the business of better decisions

At Aon, we shape decisions for the better to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world.

As an organization, we are united through trust as one inclusive, diverse team, and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.

Cyber Solutions

It only takes one successful attack to devastate a company’s financial performance, brand — and reputation. And in the current cyber climate, it’s not a case of if an attack will happen, but when.

Resilient companies recognise this new normal and stay one step ahead to protect themselves, their customers, partners and vendors against devastating attacks. That’s where you come in.

Your role on the Cyber Consulting Graduate Programme:

Aon’s Cyber Consulting Graduate programme is rotational, and you will be immersed in projects covering all key areas of cyber risk consulting and information security, including:

• Threat intelligence
• Incident response (reactively working with an organisation in response to a cyber-attack)
• eDiscovery (helping companies interrogate data for key information and facts, or make disclosures)
• Proactive security testing (spotting vulnerabilities and defending organisations against adversaries) and advisory (identifying security risks and working on improving the client’s cyber resilience)
• Cyber risk quantification and consulting (assessing organizations’ cyber risk exposure and modelling probable cyber loss scenarios, advising clients around cyber risk financing strategies)

You’ll have exposure to several other areas of our business, to give you a well-rounded understanding of Aon. We’ll also give you the chance to work on a range of real-world security and cyber risk situations. One day you might be chasing malicious hackers through a client’s network; the next, analysing messaging apps on an iPhone, or advising clients on how to make better decisions when it comes to their cyber risk posture.

Our clients span all sorts of industries too, including financial services, healthcare, retail, hospitality, technology and communications, entertainment and more. As a Cyber Solutions Graduate you will work across a rand of client consulting services including:

Cyber Risk Consulting

• Conduct cyber due diligence to identify potential threats to the value of a client’s investment, providing the insight needed to make sound decisions.

Entry Requirements:
