This makes it one of the highest paid and fastest growing areas of IT, the article explains.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Experts are putting this increased demand down to a shortage of skills across the IT and tech industry as a whole. For Anthony Sherick, managing director of Technojobs, the cyber security sector is &#8220;suffering from a problem of supply and demand&#8221; &#8211; and this is likely to grow as news of hacks and cyber-attacks continue to appear in the media, and the government continues to deal with threats to national security.<\/p>\n<p>While this may be good news for contractors who are trained in cyber security, Sherick warns that &#8220;if there continues to be such a distinct lack of skills, businesses will find it increasingly difficult to find contractors from the UK with appropriate skills, stunting the growth of the economy. More importantly with cyber security, leaving our citizens and national security massively exposed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In order to resolve this issue, he expresses the need for schools, universities and businesses to invest in skills and training to develop a &#8220;pipeline of talent&#8221; that is able to fill an increasing number of vacant roles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New research demonstrates that demand for contractors who are qualified in cyber security is now higher than ever, Contractor UK reports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[15,21,23],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
