Q&A: Colin Tankard – raising security awareness
Steve Mansfield-Devine · Network Security · 2013
Educating people about the need for security is a tough job. Neither organisations nor individuals seem to be getting the message. In spite of regulations and the threat of fines, many companies still do the minimum – if anything at all – when it comes to securing their systems. And the general public seems equally reluctant to adopt more secure practices. However, in this interview with Colin Tankard, managing director of Digital Pathways, we explore whether the public actually holds the key to improving security, by demanding better custodianship of their private data from the companies with which they interact.
