Take part in The Cyber Security Challenge
The UK is suffering from a worrying shortage of skilled professionals in the cyber security sector.
Over 90% of IT employers have reported difficulty in recruiting for cyber security positions and 60% indicated that the demand would increase over the next five years*.
To help inspire more people to enter the industry we’ve teamed up with the Government and security industry to create The Cyber Security Challenge, a competition to find the brightest minds in the UK. The Challenge will reward winners with professional training courses, create partnerships in the industry and will inspire anyone thinking of developing a career in cyber security.
“The Open University is a founding sponsor of Cyber Security Challenge. We got involved because we understand the value of academia and industry working in harmony to address the national challenges.”
