National Cyber Security By Gregory Evans

Large, organized crime syndicates have been launching sophisticated attacks against individuals and major corporations for decades. The result of their efforts is the theft of billions of dollars every year, and a large, ongoing presence in many of our most sensitive computer systems. The recent cyber attacks across the world has highlighted a very big need for cyber security experts.  A grant from the National Science Foundation has given Whatcom Community College in Washington State $200,000 grant to get students interested in cyber security. A recent study by British consumer research specialist Intersperience found that people’s biggest nightmare would be to go 24 hours without an internet connection or access to a smartphone, computer or tablet.  They even compared it to having their head chopped off.
