Cybersecurity: The Industry that Appeals to Career Changers
Cybersecurity is much more than a technical subject; it is a first-line business must. And that’s great news for career changers.
In the UK Government’s Cyber Security Skills in the Labour Market Report (2024):
- More than half of the UK organisations do not have in-housecyber capability.
- 33% of roles remain vacant for months because of skills shortages.
- Cybersecurity jobs are expanding twice as fast as the growth of the tech jobs universe.
What is worse is that, according to Cybersecurity Ventures, 3.5 million jobs will go unfilled by 2025 (Cybersecurity Ventures). As pressure mounts on employers to safeguard data and systems, the industry opens doors to candidates with real-world experience and analytical skills, even if they do not originate from a classical IT background.
What If I Don’t Have a Tech Background?
That’s perfectly okay. It is your best strength.
Professionals from backgrounds like:
- Teaching (great for training roles)
- Finance or auditing (well matched with risk and compliance).
- Customer service or retail (frontline support and communication is ideal).
- Healthcare or administration (extremely organised and detail-oriented)
…are learning they already possess the core skills required in cybersecurity: the ability to problem solve, think critically, document, comply, communicate, and have a sense of responsibility.
As much as 40% of Cybersecurity roles are non-technical or Hybrid, it’s perfectly possible to break in without learning to code (CompTIA).
