    The UK labour force is responding to the increased threat of cyber attacks. Professional services consultancy firm Procorre has found that 14% of new hires in the technology market are filling cybersecurity positions.
    According to the Inquirer:

    The job agency said that 14 percent of new UK-based technology roles are related to cyber security, and that demand and need has pushed up wages. Some 15 percent of security professionals – that could mean you – are earning at least £100,000 a year, according to the research.

    Procorre wrote:

    Businesses are increasing their investment in cyber security after a series of recent high-profile hacks exposed the vulnerability of many businesses’ IT security systems and the extent of the potential threat.
    Our research found that, of 10,210 IT roles in the UK, 1,420 are in cyber security, and the demand for cyber security experts has driven up pay, with 15 percent of cyber security professionals paid at least £100,000 per annum.
    There is a global shortage of experienced and talented cyber security experts, especially after a recent spate of high-profile attacks that have demonstrated the need for businesses to improve their cyber defences.
