Cyber security is the defence of computer systems, networks, devices & data from unauthorised access and exploitation. It affects everyone: businesses, governments, even you at home.
Cyber security apprenticeships
We live in a constantly connected world where the value of both public and private data is ever increasing. Cyber security helps to keep this data infrastructure safe. The world of cyber is a constant battle between the people working in cyber security and the people trying to exploit the defences. For this reason, cyber security apprenticeships might just be some of the most fun and exciting jobs on the market right now. Not only are careers in cyber security often well paid (Senior Security Architects can net upwards of £65,000 a year) but the roles also span across a wide range of industries and interests.
