Postie wins Cyber Security Challenge UK
Dan Summers, a postman from Wakefield, is the newly crowned winner of the Cyber Security Challenge UK, a nationwide competition set up to find future security professionals. One of his prizes is a Computer Forensics and Investigations course with The Open University.
"I've studied several courses with the OU and any place where you can learn while you earn is appealing. The previous courses in web standards and javascript were a good primer for the earlier rounds. I look forward to more of the same, but security related this time."
The Cyber Security Challenge UK is a series of competitions designed by leading security, education and government organisations in response to the worrying shortage of skilled professionals in the cyber security sector. More than 4,000 participants registered to compete in the 2010 Challenge which climaxed this weekend at HP Labs in Bristol.
