Italians lead way on security education

As a footnote to my Roman holiday, sorry, press trip, it was interesting to hear the Italian government's various initiatives to educate its civil service in matters of IT security. Yes, we've got Get Safe Online over here in the UK, but I'm not aware of any similar schemes for UK civil servants. At ISSE we heard of a new internet portal which provides the 200,000-odd Italian public sector workers with educational resources; the meetings running throughout spring this year to raise awareness specifically among managers; and the 200 hours of education for technical staff in the public sector. Bravo.
