I'd expect the general requirement for that to be a degree in a STEM subject such as Computer Science, Math or actually Cyber Security. You'd also need to aim for a 1st degree, and although a 2:1 (sometimes even 2:2) is the minimum requirement, the market may be inflated with graduates so there is a lot of competition. Doing a 12-months job placement before graduating will also help a lot.
Have a look at the graduate programmes for this area and see the general requirements - https://www.gradcracker.com/search/computing-technology/cyber-security-graduate-jobs
