Hi there.
So in the Intelligence Corps there are opportunities to work as a Cyber Threat Analyst. Typically you would join as an Operator Technical Intelligence (OPTI) and then specialise in a cyber pathway. Your ability to do this would depend on you successfully passing a 'cyber aptitude test'.
There are also ample opportunities to work in a similar field with the Royal Signals. Typically they are much more hands on with the actual systems (hardware and software), whereas we are more focused on exploiting information and supporting cyber operations with incisive analysis.
I hope that gives you something to consider. Please do fire any more questions back at me.
