UK still not training enough cyber-spooks - will take 20 years to fill gap
Submitted by l33tdawg on Tue, 2013-02-12 06:29
The Government’s ambitious attempt to upgrade the UK’s cyber-security capabilities will struggle as long as the country fails to turn out enough graduates with the right skills, a National Audit Office (NAO) report has hinted.
