Comment from Smoothwall - DCMS to launch new cyber security scheme for students

July 2017 by Smoothwall

Today, the DCMS has just launched a new initiative, pumping £20m in a new cyber security programme to help students and industry members shore up their knowledge of cyber security. The comment from Claire Stead, Online Safety Expert at Smoothwall, an internet security company present in over 7,000 schools across the country, who emphasises that we cannot be a nation of laggards in the most important issue of our time:

“The new Cyber Schools Programme from the DCMS is a great opportunity to get children involved in the complex – but increasingly important and relevant world – of cyber security. According to a report recently, Europe is due to face a shortage of cyber security experts by 2022 – this new injection of £20m by the government is a real chance for the children of the UK to be at the vanguard of protecting hospitals, governments, businesses and indeed the whole country.

“Unless we take a look at the grass roots, this gap won’t be plugged any time soon. As coding was introduced in the national curriculum only relatively recently, it’s reassuring to see the government taking cyber issues even more seriously and we would actively encourage all students, teachers and industry members to shore up their digital skills and knowledge of cyber-related issues. As the security world is constantly shifting and IT becomes embedded in most of what we do, we cannot afford to be a nation of laggards in what is sure to be one of the most competitive and important industries for years to come.”
