'Get Safe Online' gets flack

Just after it had announced that over half wireless networks were unsecured, the governments Get Safe Online campaign has come in for some flack.

Analyst company Ovum has said that the scheme has 'limitations' and wondered if the people involved with the campaign really knew what they were talking about. They highlighted the fact that at the launch there were seven questions put to the panel from observers and only one got a relevant answer.

While not saying that the scheme was without merits, they questioned where it was relevant and could capture the interest of young people.

"Get Safe Online is doing a worthwhile and difficult job. However, its limitations also became apparent at the presentation to launch the new campaign. The problem will never be solved without a holistic approach involving all parties,"
"Educational campaigns over many years have failed to solve problems of smoking and drink-driving, particularly amongst the age groups primarily targeted by Get Safe Online. It is hard to see how privacy and anti-virus will grab their attention in a way that life-saving concerns have failed to do,"
Graham Titterington Ovum
