Professionals in this field are responsible for implementing robust security measures, detecting and mitigating vulnerabilities, and ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data. They work closely with IT teams to develop and maintain effective security protocols, monitor networks for suspicious activities, and respond swiftly to incidents. With the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber threats, cyber security professionals are in high demand across various industries.

Although the data privacy and cyber security job market is subdued due to economic factors, there are positive signs of future growth. Our data showed a spike in cyber security job recruitment activity at the start of 2024. There is certainly no sign that the cyber security job market is dying. Indeed, there is pent-up demand, and we expect teams to recruit for new cyber security jobs as business confidence returns.
The mental health of professionals in cyber security jobs is at an all-time low. Our own research shows this, and our recruitment consultants find this to be true when talking to job candidates. Managing under-resourced cyber security teams puts CISOs at particular risk of burnout. 80% of CISOs describe themselves as “highly stressed”. Some businesses are outsourcing cyber security jobs that involve weekend work to address this problem.
88% of professionals in the field believe that AI will significantly impact cyber security jobs, according to a recent IS2 survey. But that doesn’t mean that AI will replace them. 56% of professionals believe that it will make cyber security jobs more efficient, which may free up more time for higher-value tasks.
