BT ups cybersecurity recruiting after demand surge

BT Group has started a drive to recruit 900 staff over the next year in response to a surge in demand for its cybersecurity services.

BT, which currently has more than 2,500 of its global workforce focused on security, said its annual revenues from this sector of the business were growing at a double-digit rate.

Of the 900 new roles, the FTSE 100 group said it expected to take-on and train 170 graduates and apprentices from leading universities, and some recruited after hackathon-style “war-game” competitions.

Most of the roles will be in the UK security operations centres in London, Sevenoaks and Cardiff, with some hiring on the Continent and from the Americas, the Middle-East and Asia-Pacific regions. For the full article click here
