UK Cybersecurity Budgets Stuck in Neutral: Industry Growth and Job Prospects Rev Up
Cybersecurity budgets in the UK are hitting the brakes while job prospects rev up. A new CIISec poll shows only 5% think budgets match threats, yet a whopping 78% feel their job outlook is rosy.

Key Points:

- Despite tight budgets, job prospects and market growth are positive.
- People challenges outweigh issues with processes and technology.
- Communication skills are crucial for cybersecurity professionals.
- Budgets are tighter than last year, with many experiencing stagnation.
