The Security and Resilience Outlook highlights the sector is undergoing three fundamental shifts relating to technology and cyber security, public safety and national resilience and geopolitics and economic security.

The publication further reveals that in total 148,250 people are employed in the security and resilience sector, representing an 89% increase on 2014. The average salary for someone employed in the security sector has increased 47% in the last 10 years to reach £49,000 – one third higher than the economy average.

"Against an increasing backdrop of geopolitical instability, we continue to form an industrial bedrock. For industry, the dynamic changes we are observing bring both challenges and commercial opportunities starting with investment in cyber defences through to shaping the next generation of security technologies.”

“With over 900 members active in the security and resilience space, we look forward to working with industry, government and academic stakeholders to ensure our full potential – and our obligations to society – are delivered in tandem.”
