In business, knowledge is power. For GCHQ it's vastly more important. Knowledge ensures our nation's security, economic well-being and protection against serious crime. From our predecessor's code breaking triumphs in World War 2 to providing intelligence in today's climate of regional instabilities - GCHQ has a history of employing the brightest and best. The most analytical, lateral minds, working on more challenging, rewarding - and important - tasks than are available virtually anywhere else.
