• No two days in consultancy are the same, as an Ekco cybersecurity consultant you will work with clients of various sizes across multiple industries, gaining invaluable exposure to a wide range of systems and technologies
• You will need to be adaptable and organised, as you will be working on multiple different projects in tandem often delivering multiple different services
• You will work with clients on gathering information, and assessing their systems and processes so you will need to have a keen eye for details and exceptional interpersonal skills
• You will then analyse the information gathered, prepare any supporting documentation, and present your findings to the client so you will need to be very comfortable compiling and presenting reports often to non-technical senior executives
