More training needed to meet security threats

IT specialists need more training in how to build systems that prevent security breaches and comply with the law, and end-users need to learn how to preserve evidence to aid police with investigations into e-crime, the BCS has said.

The BCS believes more could be done to prevent e-criminals escaping punishment - including the tightening up of inconsistencies in the law and in procedures between countries.
