A £20m initiative to get schoolchildren interested in cyber-security has been launched by the UK government.
The Cyber Discovery programme is aimed at 14 to 18-year-olds and involves online and offline challenges themed around battling hackers.
It is one of several programmes trying to build interest in security work and help fill a looming skills gap.
One industry expert said a broad strategy would be needed to address the widening gap.

The free Cyber Discovery programme aims to "encourage the best young minds into cyber-security", said Karen Bradley, Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, in a statement.
