Our Key Takeaway From The UK Cyber Security Sector Report 2025
Released in March, the latest Cyber Security Sectoral Analysis 2025 shows how the UK cyber security sector has grown remarkably in the last year. This report, published by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, provides an in-depth look at the current state of the cyber industry and future prospects.
The current cyber security landscape is becoming increasingly complex, and new threats are emerging at an unprecedented rate. The report highlights the growing sophistication of cyber-attacks. These threats pose significant risks to businesses of all sizes.
To combat these rising threats, the Cybersecurity industry is required to grow and evolve. The report emphasises the need for increased collaboration between government, industry, and academic organisations to develop innovative solutions and strengthen cyber defences.
The total number of cyber security firms rose to 2,165, with 74 new firms established, reflecting a 3.5% growth.
The highest proportion of external investment was in the North West region, home to a growing number of cyber businesses and the future National Cyber Force. Tracking regional growth is vital for ensuring that cybersecurity expertise and resources are distributed across the country.
Employment in the sector saw a significant boost, with 67,300 people now working in cyber security, an 11% increase from 2024. This growth translates to approximately 6,600 new jobs created in the past year.
This report highlights the strategic importance of the cyber security sector in safeguarding the UK's digital infrastructure. The forthcoming Cyber Security and Resilience Bill aims to improve UK cyber defences and protect our essential public services.
