British school kids are the next wave of cybersecurity. School kids between the ages of 11- to 14-years-old will be trained in cyber security as part of a new drive to protect the UK from digital threats.
Sir David Pepper, of the Cyber Security Skills Alliance, said: "We warmly welcome this report and the actions it proposes. It is clear from this and our own research that the national shortage of cyber skills is a key issue for businesses and government in the fight against the growing threat from cyber crime.
"We will work closely with the government and industry in support of this programme, in particular to help establish career paths in cyber security and improve recruitment and training."
