The number of cyber pros in the UK surged from 28,500 in December 2021 to 65,000 by March 2024, indicating a rapid industry growth.
Despite growth, the cyber workforce remains less diverse, with women's representation dropping from 23.8% to 17.5% between late 2021 and early 2024.
Socura's CEO noted a significant shortage of security professionals, highlighting one security worker for every 86 companies in the UK.
While cyber security is the fastest growing IT sector, the ongoing skills shortage poses challenges for businesses addressing escalating security threats.
