""Last year the National Cyber Security Centre reported a 50 per cent rise in highly significant cyber-attacks," Ward said."
""Our own research shows almost one in five organisations suffered operational disruption lasting up to two weeks, with most facing nearly five days of downtime after an attack.""
""Organisations that aren't prepared to recover quickly face an almost existential threat. Prolonged downtime can crush a business. Cyber-attacks are no longer a question of if, but when, and true resilience is impossible without strong, well-trained security teams.""
The UK Government announced an £80 million investment within a £182 million Defence Industrial Strategy skills package to address shortages in engineering, cyber security and advanced manufacturing. Funding will allow higher education providers in England to bid for additional student places, expanded facilities and industry-aligned courses, while ministers coordinate with devolved administrations on skills gaps and funding across the UK. The move aims to produce a stronger pipeline of skilled talent to support major defence programmes and maintain technological edge amid rising cyber threats and concerns from defence contractors and critical infrastructure operators.
