Junior Specialist Informatiebeveiliging

Do you want to develop yourself at the intersection of ICT and information security?

Are you analytical, a strong communicator and curious about how IT systems are set up securely? Do you find it interesting to look at technical issues from a security perspective and think along about how organizations can protect themselves against risks?

Through the Business & IT traineeship of The Trainee Company, you start your career as a junior IT professional. From the traineeship, you will get to work as a Junior Information Security Specialist in Assen within a professional ICT environment where you collaborate with various IT teams and security specialists.

You do not need to be an experienced security specialist yet. We are specifically looking for a starter with a strong interest in information security, ICT and risks who wants to develop further in this field.

What will you do?

As a Junior Information Security Specialist, you support colleagues with various security issues. You learn how to recognize, assess and translate technical and organizational risks into appropriate security measures.

Among other things, you will be involved in:

• Supporting security issues within an operational ICT environment;

• Assessing technical designs and changes from an information security perspective;

• Thinking along about risks and appropriate security measures;

• Supporting risk analyses and security reviews;

• Checking and testing security measures;

• Contributing to monitoring information security;

• Supporting security incidents and ad-hoc security issues;

• Thinking along about topics such as hardening, network segmentation and firewall rules;

• Collaborating with ICT administrators, security specialists and other IT colleagues;

• Explaining technical security risks clearly to colleagues;

• Actively sharing knowledge and contributing to security awareness within the team.
  
  

You will have the space to keep developing. The work will be tailored to your knowledge, experience and ambitions, so you can grow step by step within the field of information security.

Affinity with networks, Windows/Linux, cloud, infrastructure and security is a good foundation. Knowledge of, for example, ISO 27001, NEN, NCSC guidelines or Agile/Scrum is an advantage, but not a requirement.

The Business & IT traineeship

Through The Trainee Company, you combine working, learning and personal development. You start with an intensive onboarding and then continue to develop in practice.

During the traineeship, you follow training and obtain relevant certificates, for example in the areas of ITIL, Azure Fundamentals and Agile/Scrum. In addition, you receive personal guidance and coaching, so you can grow both technically and personally.

Who are you?

• You are analytical and curious;

• you have an interest in information security and ICT;

• you find it interesting to investigate technical risks;

• you are a strong communicator and can explain technical topics clearly;

• you work accurately and in a structured way;

• you are proactive and like to collaborate;
