AI is evolving cyber security on both sides – improving defences whilst encouraging the development of increasingly sophisticated attacks.
As businesses of all sizes increase their digital capabilities to cloud services and AI technologies to create efficiencies, they have inadvertently opened themselves up to cyber security risks. 73% of C-suite executives, academics and public sector cyber security leaders in a recent survey reported that they or someone in their network had been personally affected by cyber-enabled fraud over the course of 2025.
Security threats can damage reputation, and result in the loss of customers and revenue. Due to such threats, there is an increasing demand for cyber security professionals with specialist skillsets. However, in a recent report, 54% of cyber leaders ranked insufficient knowledge and / or skills as a hurdle their organisation faces in embracing AI for cybersecurity
Therefore, having a recruitment partner who can deliver a skills-first based approach at pace, prioritising fast turnarounds to reduce risk at optimal budget points, is critical for businesses considering hiring security talent.
