Neurodiversity in Cyber Security Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Cyber security is all about thinking like an attacker, spotting unusual patterns, protecting systems & responding calmly when everything looks like it’s on fire. It’s a discipline built on curiosity, persistence & noticing things other people miss. That’s exactly why it can be such a good fit for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a security role. In reality, the traits that can make traditional office work tough often line up beautifully with cyber security work – from hyperfocus in incident response to meticulous analysis in threat hunting. This guide is written for cyber security job seekers in the UK. We’ll look at: What neurodiversity means in a cyber context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to different security roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence during applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in cyber security – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine superpower.

Cyber Security Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the cyber security jobs market in the UK is changing fast. Attackers are scaling up with automation & AI, cloud estates are more complex, & regulators are tightening expectations around resilience & data protection. At the same time, budgets are under pressure & some organisations are consolidating their tech teams. Despite all this, demand for cyber security skills remains strong. Skilled defenders, engineers & leaders are still hard to find, & the stakes are only getting higher. Whether you are a cyber security job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building security teams, understanding the key cyber security hiring trends for 2026 will help you make better decisions.

Cyber Security Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK cyber security hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise incident readiness, cloud & identity security, detection engineering, governance/risk/compliance (GRC), measurable MTTR/coverage gains & secure‑by‑default engineering. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews, & how to prepare—especially for SOC analysts, detection engineers, blue/purple teamers, penetration testers, cloud security engineers, DFIR, AppSec, GRC & security architecture. Who this is for: SOC & detection engineers, security operations leads, DFIR analysts, penetration testers/red teamers, purple teamers, AppSec/DevSecOps engineers, security architects, cloud security engineers, identity/IAM engineers, vulnerability managers, GRC/compliance specialists, product security & security programme managers targeting roles in the UK.
