Harry Waldron - Corporate Security News

One of the ISC handlers shares some worthwhile training on the importance of security training. It's important to teach children safety as the Internet is a dangerous environment when it comes to email, web links, and malware. Some facts and quiz are shared. Knowledge of security principles is just as important as security software safeguards.

QUOTE: A few weeks ago it was my pleasure to talk to a group of young people who were participating in a program through Iowa State University School of Engineering.  This program is designed to get children interested in and excited about science, technology and engineering.

I explained to them the dangers of illegal download activity, clicking on links in emails, messages and websites, etc.   They asked what could be done to improve the condition of the virtual world.  I told them how we often times joke about creating a "test" and that everyone would have to pass the test and receive a driver's license before they were allowed on the Internet - the World Wide Superhighway.  The group took this to the next level and created a test.
