Facebook is only <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">13 years old<\/a> but it feels like it\u2019s been around since the year dot. New technology is coming along all the time, but (there\u2019s always a but) along with new technology comes new threats. Mobile malware is now more commonplace than ever before and with the implosion of the Internet of Things, we\u2019re set to see even more threats emerge.<\/p>\n<p>So, with that in mind, you\u2019d think that we\u2019d be even more eager to train the next generation of security experts. Sadly, it\u2019s not happening as fast as we\u2019d like. Research <a href=\"http:\/\/media.kaspersky.com\/uk\/Kaspersky-Cyberskills-Report_UK.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">shows<\/a> that in just the next 5 years\u2019, there\u2019s set to be 1.5 million open and unfulfilled global security positions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8508\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2017\/03\/05192706\/Kaspersky-Comic-FINAL-300dpi-535x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"535\" height=\"1024\"><\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s no surprise that even today <a href=\"http:\/\/media.kaspersky.com\/uk\/Kaspersky-Cyberskills-Report_UK.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">73%<\/a> of businesses find it difficult to find enough IT professionals for their business. It\u2019s also worth noting that whilst businesses find it difficult to find and recruit new talent, youngsters are also not aware of any training or internships available to them (<a href=\"http:\/\/media.kaspersky.com\/uk\/Kaspersky-Cyberskills-Report_UK.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">71%<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Kaspersky lab are helping to better educate both businesses and students with different initiatives designed to help both sides get ahead. To that end, Kaspersky ran a day event at the Royal Holloway, University of London with both workshops and presentations.<\/p>\n<p><post href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KasperskyLabUK\/posts\/1436278459764218\"><\/post><\/p>\n<p>The day was designed to help better educate students on what to expect from a life in cybersecurity.
