London businesses are in danger of a cyber brain drain, according to research conducted by Mimecast and British Land.
The research found that only half of the cybersecurity professionals (56 percent) expect to still be working in London in the next five years, with 30 percent planning to relocate to another country in Europe over the same period.
It also found that the UK’s businesses were still losing the battle in cybersecurity with the City of London Corporation itself suffering nearly one million cyber-attacks each month. Yet the security experts all felt their industry was being gutted by a skills shortage which is set to get worse if left to its own devices.
