UK Cyber Sector annual revenues now top £10.5 billion as of 2023.
A record number of people are looking to embark on a new career in cyber this year through applications to the government’s Upskill in Cyber programme.
Of the more than 3,600 applications received, almost half have been submitted by women with more than 50% coming from people based outside London and the South East, demonstrating the diverse pool of talent waiting to be unlocked across the UK.
Aimed at people from a non-cyber background and delivered in partnership with the SANS Institute, the scheme is the latest in a series of ambitious programmes delivered through the government’s £2.6 billion National Cyber Strategy.
