<\/div>\n

The good news first: The European cybersecurity<\/a> market was valued at \u20ac28.05 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach \u20ac53.52 billion by 2027, with an average compound annual growth rate of 24.4% during the forecast period 2022-2027.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s some even better news: there are multiple cities and regions across Europe<\/a> where a cybersecurity professional can locate \u2014 or relocate \u2014 to nurture a flourishing career<\/a> in this rapidly growing sector. As we accelerate our cloud adoption and do more of our banking and shopping online, the potential for malicious actors to access our data increases; therefore the need for qualified, talented cybersecurity professionals increases exponentially too.<\/p>\n

Legislation, such as the European Cybersecurity Act and GDPR, have also raised demand for security professionals across the bloc, as has the rise in cyberattacks against businesses. Depending on where you\u2019d like to work, salaries can be high. For example, Luxembourg has the highest average pay<\/a> for cybersecurity professionals at more than \u20ac112,000 per annum.<\/p>\n

The heart of tech is coming to the heart of the Mediterranean<\/p>\n

Thanks to its firm foundations in banking, Switzerland has a high demand for cybersecurity workers and Estonia is another leader in cybersecurity employment due to strong government support for the sector. Additionally, NATO has established its Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence in the capital city of Tallinn.<\/p>\n

To discover the continent\u2019s leader, the United Nations Global Cyber Security Index<\/a> offers sharp-eyed insight thanks to a deep dive into each country\u2019s strengths and weaknesses. Nations are judged on their legal structures, technical capabilities, organizational powers, capacity building and co-operation. In Europe, it\u2019s the UK which comes out on top with London being the leading cybersecurity city.<\/p>\n

London\u2019s longterm history in financial services has more recently transformed into an expertise in fintech. It\u2019s now home to a burgeoning ecosystem of challenger banks, blockchain startups, and at least 26 fintech unicorns, which include Checkout.com, Monzo<\/a>, OakNorth Bank, SaltPay, and SumUp. With regulation and security top of mind, cybersecurity is baked-in.<\/p>\n

There are many reasons why London is such a hub for cybersecurity roles. Strong political support exists for the fintech industry in terms of 2021\u2019s government-commissioned Kalifa Review<\/a>, which identified several hubs of activity across the UK and also put in place a number of recommendations to support the sector.<\/p>\n

On a national level, the UK is also on an upwards trajectory from its pioneering National Cyber Security Strategy of 2016, with the creation of a National Cyber Force in 2021 and a redeveloped plan for 2022<\/a> to ensure that it can continue to adapt, innovate, and invest.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it\u2019s home to a number of defense companies such as BAE Systems, Thales, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and Northrop Grumman, as well as its own cyberstars, such as Darktrace and Becrypt. All of these companies have leading requirements for cybersecurity professionals.<\/p>\n

Open roles are one thing, but they need to be supported by a talent pipeline. That\u2019s assured here too thanks to the UK\u2019s wealth of higher education institutions offering Bachelor\u2019s and Master\u2019s courses. They include an MSc in Information Security<\/a> at Royal Holloway. This course has been accredited by GCHQ, the intelligence and security organization responsible for providing intelligence to the government and armed forces.<\/p>\n

Nearby Cambridge has a cybersecurity program and King\u2019s College London has a fully-online Global Security<\/a> course that can be taken as a Master\u2019s, postgraduate diploma, or postgraduate certificate.<\/p>\n

For those already working in the industry, networking opportunities abound. London is a global destination and transport hub making it a great place to live and work. Industry conferences and events that happen here include UK Sec<\/a>, where cybersecurity leadership gathers annually to discuss challenges and trends. FMLS<\/a> is the biggest fintech event in the city, attracting thousands of attendees, all of whom network and learn from companies and key decision makers in multiple industry verticals.<\/p>\n
