The New Cybersecurity School For Kids
Anton Hilton • June 30, 2020
As the UK Government and employers encourage people to stay and work from home, people are now relying on the Internet to get things done. However, 21st-century cybercriminals have become more daring, sophisticated, and organised than ever. Therefore, if you rely on the Internet, you are at risk of being hacked.
The New Cybersecurity School For Kids
A majority of British residents have personally experienced significant data breaches in the past. For this reason, you should be extra careful during the lockdown to protect your business and personal information. Cybersecurity has become a major concern that the UK Government has even launched a free virtual cyber school to give teenagers in lockdown an opportunity to work as cybersecurity agents from home.
The virtual cybersecurity lessons are being offered to young Brits across the country to help develop their cyber skills. Some of the skills teenagers are learning include cracking codes, fixing security flaws, and dissecting cybercriminal digital trails. The lessons are absolutely free, and teenagers can sign up and earn a license to access the interactive game and webinars from cybersecurity experts.
Protect Yourself and Business From Cyberattacks
While the free virtual cyber school is an excellent initiative to train cybersecurity experts in the future, you need to protect yourself and your business from the consequences of cyberattacks. The first step you can take to defend yourself is to purchase a cybersecurity insurance cover. It’s important to note that your typical business insurance won’t cover cybersecurity. Instead, it only covers for damage on physical property and not data. Therefore, to protect yourself and your business from cyberattacks, contact Forum Insurance, or call 0208-909-2899 today.

The Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors (Chartered IIA) has seen cybersecurity rank as its top risk for the third year straight. But their survey has also brought new dangers to light with the recent surge of COVID-19 seeing disasters and crisis preparedness ranking as a new top five risk. The results came about after a comprehensive survey of over 570 Chief Audit Executives. Of these, 79% labelled cybersecurity as one of the greatest corporate risks that they had to deal with, whereas 27% labelled it as the single greatest risk. This growing fear of having inadequate cybersecurity has seen a surge with the advent of remote working as individuals and companies are now all the more reliant on technology, making them that much more susceptible to viruses, phishing activities, and malware practices.
