A Real Opportunity for Lasting Change

“Until cyber security secures a place on the curriculum, intervention must come from independent operators. Our Schools Programme aims to pick these young people up, inspire them and get them heading off on the road to lifelong, financially rewarding careers.”

Margaret Jones, General Manager for Cyber Security Challenge UK, discusses why cyber security holds the key to changing the state of the nation and enabling true upward mobility.
