Advance your Cyber career with expert advice, practical job search tips, and insightful industry guides.
Cyber threats are evolving—and so must the people defending against them. As ransomware, AI-enhanced phishing, and supply chain attacks grow more advanced, UK employers are urgently hiring cyber security professionals with the right mix of strategic and hands-on skills. Welcome to the Cyber Security Jobs Skills Radar 2026, your go-to guide for the most in-demand tools, frameworks, certifications, and technologies shaping the UK's cyber workforce. Whether you're a SOC analyst, penetration tester, or cloud security architect, this annual radar is designed to help you stay ahead of the market.
The demand for skilled cyber security professionals in the UK has never been higher. With threats increasing in sophistication and frequency, organisations are urgently hiring ethical hackers, threat analysts, GRC specialists, and security architects. But many of the most valuable roles—particularly in government, defence, and critical infrastructure—are never publicly advertised. Instead, these jobs are shared behind the scenes through trusted networks, private communities, and professional bodies. In this article, we explore how to uncover hidden cyber security jobs in the UK using organisations like the BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), CIISec (The Chartered Institute of Information Security), ISACA, and ISC² UK Chapter. We’ll show you how to use membership directories, special interest groups, CPD events and informal networks to gain early access to roles most people never see.
Redundancy is never easy—especially in a fast-moving field like cyber security, where your skills and experience are constantly evolving. But if you’ve recently been made redundant from a cyber security role, know this: the UK cyber workforce remains in high demand, and your expertise is more valuable than ever. Whether you’re a SOC analyst, penetration tester, incident responder, security architect or GRC specialist, there are still thousands of opportunities across sectors including finance, defence, government, retail, and critical infrastructure. This guide will help you turn redundancy into a career relaunch, with a clear action plan tailored to the UK cyber security job market.
Why yesterday’s pay survey no longer protects you. “Could I earn more at a managed SOC?” “Is that fintech’s offer really competitive?” Every UK cyber‑security professional asks some version of those questions—usually after another colleague lands a pay rise, a recruiter sends a tempting JD, or a fresh breach makes headline news. Yet salary guides published even last year feel as out‑of‑date as a forgotten antivirus signature. Since 2024, ransomware gangs switched to double‑extortion, deepfake phishing exploded, & the EU’s NIS2/DORA regulations bled into UK contracts despite Brexit. With each shift, salary bands move. To cut through stale averages, CybersecurityJobs.tech distilled a three‑factor formula that lets you estimate a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your role, your UK region, & your seniority level. The output arms you with data‑driven leverage for your next appraisal, job application, or freelance rate card. This article explains the formula, reveals the forces pushing cyber pay ever higher, & outlines five practical moves to boost your market value within ninety days.
Cyber security is no longer just an IT issue—it’s a board-level priority. Whether you’re applying for a role in penetration testing, security operations, risk management, or compliance, your ability to clearly explain cyber threats and solutions to non-technical stakeholders is vital. This guide will help cyber security job seekers develop one of the most in-demand soft skills in the industry: public speaking. You’ll learn how to simplify complex concepts, structure effective presentations, use storytelling and analogies, and handle common stakeholder questions with confidence.
Bookmark this guide—refreshed every quarter—so you always know who’s really expanding their cyber security teams. Ransomware payouts broke records in 2024, the UK’s new Cyber Security Bill imposed mandatory breach disclosure, and the National Cyber Force’s move to Samlesbury has super‑charged the northern skills market. Result? Demand for security architects, SOC analysts, penetration testers, cloud‑security engineers, threat hunters & GRC specialists is at an all‑time high in 2025. Below you’ll find 50 organisations that have posted UK‑based cyber security vacancies or announced head‑count growth during the past eight weeks. They’re organised into five quick‑scan categories.
