Who are the UK Cyber Security Council?

The UK Cyber Security Council is the chartered body for cyber security, tasked with setting professional standards and advancing the field across industry, government, and academia. It acts as the trusted voice for cyber security in the UK, aiming to make the country the safest place to live and work online. The Council plays a central role in developing national cyber security strategies and establishing clear professional career pathways for individuals entering or progressing within the sector.

Our partnership with the UK Cyber Security Council is both prestigious and impactful. Learning People is proud to be the first and only training and careers company to hold membership, placing us alongside major industry players such as Microsoft, BT, Vodafone and the Office for Nuclear Regulation. As the profession moves towards future regulation, being part of this council underscores our leadership in delivering credible, high-quality cyber training.
