Talent and Aveiro
We are building our analyst team in Aveiro by developing people, rather than competing for the few experienced analysts available.
Why Aveiro
Aveiro sits on the main rail line between Lisbon and Porto, beside the Ria de Aveiro lagoon. It is home to the Universidade de Aveiro, with strong engineering and information technology programmes, and to a growing technology community.
It is also a place people choose to stay, which matters when you invest in developing them.
A supervised programme
We are establishing a supervised analyst development programme with the Universidade de Aveiro. It is modelled on the cybersecurity internship programmes our managing director, David Stevens, built at the University of Hawaiʻi.
From L1 to L2
Join
Students will join as trainee analysts, employed in Portugal.
Supervised triage
For one to two semesters, trainees triage alerts under defined escalation rules and the direct supervision of qualified analysts.
Progress to L2
Further training and supervised practice prepare trainees for L2 analyst work.
Permanent roles
The strongest are offered permanent, qualified positions in Portugal.
Clear boundaries
Clients are told about the supervision model in their contract.
- Trainees triage alerts. They do not carry out incident response, containment or forensic work.
- Client-facing escalation stays with qualified, permanent staff.
- Every trainee works under the direct supervision of a qualified analyst.
Qualified work in Portugal
The programme exists to create qualified security roles in Portugal. Trainees will be hired and trained here, and the strongest will stay here in permanent positions.
