Security News > 2023 > March > Psst! Infosec bigwigs: Wanna be head of security at HM Treasury for £50k?

Given the importance of the Treasury department's function to Britain, Reg readers might expect the Head of Cyber Security vacancy currently being advertised would come with a salary that reflects its criticality.

"We're looking for a Head of Cyber Security to join the team and provide advice to seniors on cyber risks across our services and systems," the posting reads.

The Head of Cyber Security is only regarded as being a "Mid-Senior level" role, according to the Treasury.

The job ad says the Head of Cyber Security will be responsible for service delivery, people and service management, budget and supplier relationship management, security governance, monitoring and assurance.

The winning candidate will also have oversight of "Specialist security processes" and the provisioning of device security throughout the organization.

"Frankly, this gives the impression that the British government isn't taking its cyber security seriously. If cyber security firms can see it, then you can bet that malicious actors can too."
