Twenty per cent of UK computing undergraduates get no more than five hours
education on software security

IT students are not being educated on how to "bake in" security when
designing and developing new software applications, according to research.
The study for the Cyber Security
Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) found that just one in five UK computing
undergraduates get no more than five hours education on software security – and
many get none at all.
Insecure software applications have a knock-on effect on end users by making
their systems vulnerable, according to Bill Whyte, who carried out the research.
“Today’s computing market is a complex value chain of software activities and
is as vulnerable as its weakest link," he said.
Despite the current political clamour on the importance of information
security, this key issue is not being addressed, said Nigel Jones, head of the
KTN.
“The bottom line is that if we want to solve the problems we need to start by
fixing the root cause," he said.
