Career Opportunities

Regardless of the reasons for the increase in demand, the pressing problem is a shortage of people trained and capable enough to fill the growing number of cyber security roles. In fact, the need for experienced professionals is so high that companies are willing to pay a premium salary of £150,000 to over £400,000 to top talent. This has increased the cyber security budget by 71% as observed by PwC in its recent report.

The jobs that are seeing this sharp increase in pay include the following five cyber security roles:

Network Security Engineer

Cyber Security Analyst

Security Architect

Cyber Security Manager

Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)
