We are seeking a dynamic Intelligence Analyst to work within the South East Regional Cyber and Dark Web team, part of the South East Regional Organised Crime Unit (SEROCU).  The Regional Cyber Crime Unit sets out to tackle both cyber-dependant crime and the most complex and serious cyber-enabled crime.  The types of investigations range from large-scale computer malware attacks, hacking, network intrusions and denial of service attacks (DDoS).

The Regional Dark Web unit works in collaboration with the Regional Cyber Crime unit and specialises in tracking down those engaged in the most serious criminality on the Dark Web.  This involves targeting those supplying drugs, providing documents to facilitate human trafficking, disrupting the supply of weapons and those providing a service to facilitate fraud, money laundering and cybercrime.

The Cyber Intelligence Analyst will be at the very heart of these investigations.  A training pathway will enabled the bringing together of the traditional analyst skills with a more technical understanding to help trace, attribute and then prosecute those involved in this type of offending.  Gaining a greater understanding of how digital data from various sources from mobile phones, laptops, servers and the cloud can be best presented at Court.

The Cyber Intelligence Analyst will also have a unique opportunity to work with big data sets to enhance the Cyber and Dark Web intelligence picture in the South East and Nationally.  Providing a consistent source of new subjects and opportunities to disrupt cyber and dark web offending.
