Nicholas Lansman, general secretary of the ISPA, said: "The work that cyber security professionals do is incredibly important and ISPA welcomes the effort to encourage more people in to this profession."
"ISPA members recognise the importance of ensuring that users can access the Internet confident that they are protected," he added.
This week, the Cyber Security Challenge was officially launched.
The competition will test the cyber and IT security abilities of individuals and teams from every walk of life through a series of national online games and challenges.
Talented individuals who are capable of pursuing a career in the UK's cyber security market or information security jobs both now and in the future will be awarded prizes to help them make this a reality, including training courses and mentoring sessions.
