We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world.

As digital threats continue to evolve and threaten businesses large and small, bad actors are improving their tactics, techniques and procedures faster than corporate security teams can keep up. Increasingly organized and collaborative, their methods grow more sophisticated each year. Our clients continually look to EY for our knowledge and resources to assist with their Digital Investigations & Privacy needs.

The opportunity

This will include investigating what happened and helping the client to determine the potential impact and how the company’s data was potentially misused. You will be helping clients assess and resolve insider threats on an ongoing basis for multiple clients at a time.
