As an answer to recent (various organization hacked by the Anonymous Group) and not so recent (Stuxnet attack against an Iranian nuclear reactor) Cyber attacks, the British Government announced last year that they will allocate £650 million of funding to set up a National Cyber Security Programme. Government Agencies will also take a central role to organise the ongoing battle and work closely with commercial organisations.

Jenrick IT is privileged to be one of a select group of recruitment companies exhibiting at the DESi 2011 show, which opens today at ExCeL, London and is dubbed as “The World’s largest Arms and Defence Show.”

SC and DV Cleared Professionals are encouraged to visit the award-winning Recruitment Company at Stand N4-187 to receive up to date Security and Defence Career Advice, which reflects the current skill and experience requirements within the Security and Defence Sectors.

The career advice team at the show, led by Jenrick IT’s Managing Director, Philip Fanthom and Security Careers and Recruitment Specialist, Miriam Lee, added further comments on their role at the show:

“There is an incredible amount of opportunity available for SC and DV Cleared Professionals, especially those with an IT background, which is the area of careers that is our primary focus. However, due to the nature of this industry, people will be largely unaware of many of these job opportunities, which is a key reason we have made ourselves available at DSEi,” Fanthom explained.

Miriam Lee added, “the speed at which the market is evolving is incredible. {{Job hunting techniques of two years ago are now largely obsolete.}} This is one reason why I recorded the career advancement podcast; to highlight the current career strategies that individuals should implement.”

The Career Advancement Podcast for SC and DV Professionals, is just one of several exclusive career and job-hunting resources that are available to visitors of the DSEi Show.

In addition to gaining access to these resources, SC and DV Professionals will also be able to receive a one-on-one career clinic with a member of Jenrick IT’s experienced career advancement team.
