There are significant benefits to learning cyber security, not only from a business perspective, but also personally too.

Cyber security training can allow you to:

• increase your earning potential with the starting salary in cyber security around £25,000 increasing to £70,000+ in senior roles.
• travel the world due to the demand for cyber security roles and volume of global cyber attacks.
• continue to scale your personal and professional growth as cyber attacks evolve.

But why else should you learn cyber security skills?

Learning cyber security can offer a broad range of opportunities, according to information from prospects.ac.uk, including:

• Network Security - for IT to work, data must flow smoothly and securely.
• Security Management - security managers oversee the security strategies across an entire business, including risk management, data privacy and firewalls.
• Penetration Testing – the aim is to find vulnerabilities in a client's security system before an attacker can exploit them.

With technology advancing all the time and hackers becoming increasingly savvy, the role of working in cyber security offers diverse work in a range of roles and industries and plenty of opportunities through a growing demand for these skills.
