In the UK public sector, where vital services and sensitive citizen data are at stake, cyber security has become a top priority.

In this blog post, we’ll delve into why cyber security is so critical to government agencies, the most in-demand roles, the skills and qualifications required, and how to navigate the application process.

Contract vs Permanent Cybersecurity Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

Cybersecurity has become one of the fastest-growing and most crucial fields in modern business. With high-profile breaches dominating headlines and the ongoing digital transformation exposing organisations to new threats, companies across the UK are competing to attract skilled cybersecurity professionals. Roles range from penetration testers (pen testers) and SOC (Security Operations Centre) analysts to compliance officers, cloud security architects, threat intelligence analysts, and CISOs (Chief Information Security Officers). As demand continues to surge, cybersecurity salaries have climbed accordingly, and businesses have turned to more flexible hiring practices. Alongside permanent employment, many professionals explore short-term day‑rate contracting or fixed-term contracts (FTCs), searching for the ideal balance of pay, job security, and growth opportunities. Which arrangement truly pays better in 2025—and which best aligns with your ambitions? In this article, we dive into the contract vs. permanent debate with a focus on cybersecurity roles. We will examine the current market, the structure of day‑rate vs. FTC vs. permanent positions, the pros and cons of each, and some hypothetical pay comparisons. By the end, you should have a clearer sense of which career path might suit your situation and goals—whether you are a seasoned specialist aiming for top rates, or an up-and-coming analyst seeking a stable environment to develop in.

Cyber Security Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

Defence Needs More Than Hackers in Hoodies When headlines warn of ransomware crippling hospitals or deepfakes swaying elections, we picture hoodie‑clad hackers and elite penetration testers. Yet the reality of the UK’s cyber security sector is broader—and desperately short of talent. The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT) estimates a shortfall of 11,200 cyber security professionals in 2024, while 43 % of advertised roles require governance, risk or communication skills rather than hands‑on technical exploits. Put plainly: if you can guide policy, manage projects, interpret regulations or inspire behaviour change, cyber security wants you. This guide highlights the fastest‑growing non‑technical roles, the transferable skills you already possess, and a concrete 90‑day plan to land a cyber security job—no packet sniffers required.
