"A report produced for the government has today set out nine core recommendations for how the UK can strengthen its burgeoning cyber security sector to fuel resilience and growth across the economy. The report says that although the UK's cyber sector remains on an upward trajectory, with jobs and revenue both rising by over 10% and gross value added (GVA) by over 20% in the past 12 months, taken as a whole, cyber is still undervalued."
""The cyber security sector in the UK has significant growth potential, and there are clear roles for both government and the private sector identified ... to contribute to tapping into that potential," said Nigel Steward, director of the Centre for Sectoral Economic Performance (CSEP) at ICL. "Supporting the sector isn't just an economic opportunity, it's essential for our national security and the resilience of businesses, so we at CSEP are very happy to have been able to produce this independent report in partnership with the University of Bristol to support the government's Modern Industrial Strategy.""
Nine core recommendations aim to strengthen the UK cyber security sector to fuel resilience and growth across the economy. The UK cyber growth action plan aligns with the government's Modern Industrial Strategy and will inform the refresh of the National Cyber Strategy. The sector shows an upward trajectory: jobs and revenue rose by over 10% and gross value added (GVA) increased by over 20% in the past 12 months, yet the sector remains undervalued with significant untapped potential. Recommendations identify clear roles for government and the private sector and emphasize research, skills, collaboration, and converting innovation into nationwide economic and security benefits.
