Security Education Down Under

Young Australians are learning about online security thanks to a new federal government program.

Under the program, e-security education modules aimed at students in years 3 and 9 that will address key aspects of safe online behaviour, as well as the use of appropriate computer defence systems.

As a network assistant in college, I was able to see just how little most people know about protecting themselves and being wary of what they are bringing onto their computers. Educating children on security will make things a little easier on the security experts of the future.
