Editor's Note
=============
Since the last newsletter the media have certainly been covering
aspects such as privacy on the internet and various articles
outline that this niche of the market appears to be booming with
companies delivering security solutions, however cybercrime is on
the increase and organisations are warned not to sit back, they
must take the appropriate measures against events happening to
them sooner rather than later.

Also with the introduction of the new bill from the government
allowing employers to snoop or basically monitor employees e-
mails and telephone calls opens a whole can of worms. Is this
infringement on human rights, we will see? As an IT Manager did
state in an e-mail to BBC Breakfast News, employers own the
networking technology that their staff are using, therefore they
have every right to monitor how it is used. Let me have your
thoughts.

ALSO, watch this space ..... TrainingZONE will be reporting an
exclusive interview with Colin Steed, the new Chief Executive
from the Institute of IT Trainers in the very near future.

This newsletter covers a range of stories for the IT Trainer from
general training issues through to latest software/hardware
releases from a variety of organisations and is intended to keep
you informed of as many IT issues of relevance that can be found.

TrainingZones dedicated IT Training pages can be found at
https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/itand editor, Carrol Rowe,
is eager to hear your news and any information you feel would
benefit other trainers.
