Cyber security: Export help
Guidance for UK companies involved in the cyber security sector on exporting overseas.
Cyber security is one of the UK’s most exciting sectors. UK companies, from major consultancies and telecoms providers to innovative Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs), are seeing increasing global demand for their products and solutions. Main markets include North America, Europe and Asia.
The UK Cyber Security industry is worth over £22 billion per year to the UK economy, growing at around 10% per year and employing over 100,000 professionals. The global export market is assessed at £33 billion and UK cyber security exports in 2015 were £1.84 billion, up 25% from 2014.
