Survey shows lack of concern around cyber security from UK students

Our new survey has found that only 17% of students are genuinely concerned by cyber security despite it affecting many of them. Students are unsurprisingly more worried about grades (90%), but are also more often worried about money (79%) or friendships (53%).
The findings come as the government is set to address the growing threat of cyber-attacks by doubling investment in cyber security for 2016, spending £1.9 billion over the next five years. The national cyber plan includes the development of a National Offensive Cyber Programme to counter cyber-attacks, and perhaps most critically, the goal of increasing the nation’s cyber skills.
