Recruitment 007 Italy: Intelligence Seeks Cyber Experts and Analysts

Not only technical profiles: also open to graduates in international and humanities fields. Applications open until March 20.

The new recruitment campaign of the Italian intelligence has started to strengthen the staff of the Department of Information for Security (Dis) and the two agencies AISI and AISE. Applications are open until March 20 and aim to attract highly qualified professionals, especially in the technical and analytical fields, to respond to a rapidly evolving international context.

The goal is clear: to oversee the most sensitive areas of national security with updated skills, with particular attention to cyber threats, hacker attacks, and the protection of strategic infrastructures. No “movie agents,” therefore, but profiles capable of working on data, scenarios, complex systems, and critical technologies.

Requirements: Who Can Apply

To participate in the selection, three fundamental requirements are needed:

• Italian citizenship;
• full enjoyment of civil and political rights;
• age not less than 18 years.

These are accompanied by conditions considered essential for access to the sector: absolute reliability, moral solidity, and the ability to maintain confidentiality even after leaving the service.

The Technical Areas: HPC, Cryptography, and Cyber

The campaign focuses on four main areas. The first concerns experts in High Performance Computing (HPC): graduates in computer science, engineering, physics, or mathematics are sought, with skills in designing and optimizing high-performance systems, HPC architectures, and managing clusters for scientific simulations and artificial intelligence projects.

Ample space is also reserved for specialists in cryptography, with a focus on quantum technologies: from quantum computing to the design of quantum algorithms, to encrypted communications, the development of dedicated applications, and cryptanalysis.

Third key area: cyber. Here, intelligence looks at both technical-scientific graduates and graduates in cybersecurity, computer science, or engineering, with in-depth knowledge of cyber threat techniques. The idea is to put “hacker” skills — understood as the ability to understand and anticipate attacks — at the service of state defense.

Not Only Technicians: Also Seeking Humanists and OSINT Analysts

Alongside STEM profiles, the selection also includes graduates in international or humanities disciplines. In this case, the required skills revolve around the analysis of complex phenomena: domestic and international terrorism, religious radicalism, transnational organized crime, immigration, human trafficking, and subversive phenomena.

There is also a targeted search for graduates and postgraduates in communication, sociology, international relations, or computer science, with advanced skills in open source intelligence (OSINT), a sector increasingly central to reading weak signals, reconstructing information networks, and interpreting social and geopolitical dynamics.

Spontaneous Applications

In addition to the profiles indicated in the announcement, the Dis reminds that it is always possible, especially for young people highly motivated, to submit a spontaneous application through the online procedure in the “Work with us” section.
