In the fight against the digital divide, one organization attending Infosecurity Europe 2024 isn't just offering solutions, they might also be nurturing the cybersecurity talent of tomorrow.
Every Child Online, a UK-based charity, are offering free IT asset disposal services at Infosecurity Europe. These assets are then refurbished and distributed via the charity to underprivileged children.
“The principal idea is that we want to make sure that every child has access to a device so that they can fulfill their potential in a what is now a very digital age,” said Mike Tarbard, Co-founder and CEO, Every Child Online in conversation with Infosecurity.
“We're talking about a child that might be the next music producer or the next movie producer. Or someone that wants to get into cybersecurity,” he said.
Bridging the Cybersecurity Skills Gap
Every Child Online isn’t just about delivering used devices to those in need, it also works with young people to train them in various IT roles.
