IT training needs to be increased in the UK as the country moves towards becoming a 'digital' society, it has been claimed.
With the government seeking to increase access to superfast broadband internet services across the country, there are concerns that many people could be exposing personal data because they do not know how to go about protecting their machines from malicious software.
Calum Macleod, regional director of security experts Tufin Technologies, has warned many employees "have become so accustomed to receiving security alerts telling them that certificates for applications have expired that they no longer pay attention to them".
He warned that such an attitude could have huge consequences not only for the personal data of the individual, but also for the sensitive information of the company that person works for, suggesting more needs to be done to educate people of the risks.
A recent report from security experts Imperva claimed that in the next ten years computer hacking will become more 'industrialised' and data security is going to become even more important to UK organisations.
