The lack of of cybersecurity professionals in the near future for the United Kingdom is worrying for the country that once used to be a world leader in cryptography, the science at the core of cybersecurity. Going back to World War 2, mathematician Alan Turing created a code breaking device that helped the British war effort tremendously by decoding tens of thousands of secret Nazi communications, giving the Allies an edge on intelligence. Even after the war up until his tragic premature death he worked on early attempts at computers.
But the future cybersecurity isn’t looking so bright for the United Kingdom. How do they fix this? Easy really/ A group drawn from business and government is launcing a series of cybersecurity challenges aimed at children, with the goal of finding and fostering tomorrow’s cyber geniuses.
Today, the United Kingdom has fallen behind in cybersecurity. In part, that’s because it faces a shortage of talented workers. Says the Cyber Challenge’s website:
Whilst the need for a bright, dedicated, and quick-thinking cyber security workforce is growing, the number of skilled candidates is not. Recent statistics from Microsoft suggest that the IT industry will create 78,000 jobs in the UK in the next four years but research from the government body e-Skills confirms a 50% decline in young UK residents entering IT careers during the last five.
The cybersecurity challenges will be running in 2000 schools, offering prizes, and trying to link newly discovered talent with industry job openings, Cyber Challenge UK hopes to close this gap with native talent and eager, inventive youths.
