Analysing the growth, diversity, and regional footprint of the UK cyber security workforce through ONS occupation data.

In 2024, a Socura report ‘Their next job was in cyber', revealed that cyber security was the fastest-growing IT occupation in the UK, albeit with significant imbalances in the number of women in the sector and stark geographical divides.
Over one year later, we examine the latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures to assess how the cyber security employment landscape has shifted, highlighting the latest trends and the barriers that both help and hinder the sector's potential.
