This is a summary of research into the UK cyber security labour market, carried out on behalf of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS). The research explores the nature and extent of cyber security skills gaps (people lacking appropriate skills) and skills shortages (a lack of people available to work in cyber security job roles) using a mixture of:
- Representative surveys with cyber sector businesses and the wider population of UK organisations (businesses, charities and public sector organisations – with this summary focusing on businesses)
- Qualitative research with training providers, cyber firms and large organisations in various sectors
- A secondary analysis of cyber security job postings on the Burning Glass Technologies database
