Cyber security experts could help in office support jobs

Placing cyber security experts into office support jobs could help them to spread the message of best practice throughout a workforce.

The Internet Service Providers' Association (ISPA) explains that a greater awareness about online security issues and how to tackle them can help internet users to protect themselves.

In business, this might be achieved by hiring into office support jobs people with a technical knowledge or broad understanding of anti-virus software or network perimeter security.

Nicholas Lansman, secretary general of the ISPA, says: "The work that cyber security professionals do is incredibly important and ISPA welcomes the effort to encourage more people in to this profession."

His comments come as a new online initiative is launched to help identify people with the necessary technical knowledge to become cyber security evangelists.

The Cyber Security Challenge features competitions and games aimed at people of all backgrounds, with those whose awareness of security is the greatest to be awarded with one of 30 prizes.
