Global newsroom. Over one million subscribers. A threat surface that spans 40 countries and a legacy print operation running alongside cloud-native digital products. The Financial Times is, at its core, a target-rich environment - and the security team knows it.
The FT's cybersecurity posture has to protect 700 journalists, proprietary editorial workflows, subscriber data at scale, and the infrastructure that keeps iconic pink-paper and cutting-edge digital products live. The attack model is broad: nation-state interest in source protection, credential stuffing against a seven-figure subscriber base, and supply-chain risk across a tech stack that has evolved from broadsheet presses to real-time content delivery. The team operates across endpoints, cloud environments, and the editorial tools that sit between a reporter's laptop and a breaking story.
Culturally, the FT values collaborative problem-solving, diverse perspective, and curiosity - the same qualities that drive investigative journalism also drive incident response. Security here isn't a back-office function; it's a trust layer protecting one of the world's most recognized news brands. The environment rewards technical rigor and independent thinking, with the kind of global scope that means your threat landscape is never boring.
