This type of commitment needs to continue, with business leaders and managers investing in cyber security training. This is important to give cyber security professionals the skills they need to properly protect businesses from cyber attacks. If these skills are in place throughout the UK, attacks will be prevented and the numbers reduced.
Also, the structure of education around cyber security needs to change. If the government were to introduce cyber security as part of the curriculum, it would encourage more children to choose cyber security careers. The government must continue to increase their investment into cyber security apprenticeships. This would encourage more young people and businesses to undertake apprenticeships, developing skills and successful cyber security careers. Finally, general awareness needs to increase around cyber security. This would help people take more steps to help prevent cyber attacks. These actions would change the culture of dusting cyber security under the carpet, and getting more skilled cyber security professionals into the industry to protect our businesses and economy.
