Cyber security plays a critical role in the modern digital world. Cyber security rapidly evolves and grows to offer attractive career prospects. Cyber security needs skills from a diverse range of backgrounds, including technical and non-technical. A career in cyber security will offer an interesting, rewarding, and well-paid job.

A strong and diverse cyber security workforce underpins economic prosperity and national security.
