UK Cyber Specialists Needed?

Today I watched on the BBC as Baroness Neville-Jones (Minister of Security) outlined a national competition to find the next generation of cyber security specialists.

For the majority of us internet security affects us in the form of ‘spam’ emails. Sometimes they are selling something or offering a ‘to good to be true’ price or simply trying to sell us cheap Rolex Watches…

There are many different ways that internet security affects us every day and the effects can be slight or substantial. There are various different applications and hardware options that business and individuals can consider – the important thing to understand is that digital security is going to become more and more important as more and more of us ‘get connected’ in some way.
