A review of the cybersecurity job market in the UK, the nature and extent of skill gaps and shortages. A combination of surveys, qualitative research with firms, and a review of job postings.

Using telephone survey of UK business and thirty in-depth interviews, this report reviews awareness and approaches to cyber security in the UK as well as the nature and impact of breaches by firm size and sector.

This report offers quantitative findings from a study of UK individuals to measure and understand awareness and attitudes towards cyber security, and related behaviors. The findings are part of a wider research project to provide insight to inform HM Government’s approach to encourage positive behavior amongst the public in protecting themselves against cyber threats.
