Security Today: It's All About Education

I’ve been around in this industry long enough to observe plenty of interesting trends. And one of the most important trends of this decade if not earlier has been how cybersecurity has gone mainstream. As well as regularly featuring in top tier media (no longer languishing just in tiny tech sections toward the back of newspapers but frequently featuring on front pages), tech and security are no longer the sole preserve of the asocial geek; InfoSec has rightly infiltrated the curriculum at many schools across the developed world. And as our society’s love affair with technology deepens, it stands to reason that IT security news has become more relevant and interesting to us all. Cybercrime and InfoSec get a lot of attention from the press these days because the threats we face are graver than ever; however, today I’m going to focus on the positive stuff.
