About IDT

At IDT, we make technology work for people. From solving everyday IT challenges to delivering projects and protecting businesses against cyber threats, we help our clients stay connected, productive and secure. Our teams bring together technical expertise and a human approach, because great IT is as much about the people we support as the systems we look after.

We’re not here to simply close tickets. We get to know our clients, take ownership of challenges and find solutions that make a lasting difference. We tackle problems together, share what we learn and look for better ways of doing things. Curiosity matters here, and asking questions is part of getting it right.

For a Graduate Security Engineer, that means the opportunity to put your interest in cyber security into practice. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers, get hands\-on with real security challenges and see how your work helps protect the businesses that rely on us. Bring your curiosity, care and willingness to learn\- and help us make technology safer for the people who use it.
