The Problem
The average age of arrest for cyber crime :
– 17 years old
Nearly 50% of UK crime is cyber
The Solution
A global shortfall of at least 1.8 million cyber security professionals by 2022
Average salary – £70,000
This is the ideal time for anyone with skill and an interest in the world of computing and all things cyber to explore a career in cyber security.
The world is crying out for more cyber security professionals – a role which pays well and has a great reputation. It is important to understand that cyber security is not a solely technical role but has an emphasis on problem solving.
