What is Project Endurance? - the National High Tech Crime Unit's Tony Neate explains

A number of Bloggers(including Thomas Lee and Mark Osbourn) have been discussing both Project Endurance and the recent posting of the UK Government's Security Awareness site. As early as last Autumn The Register posted a good summary of the project.

Tony Neate(Head of Industry Liasion for the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit) is speaking @ the National Information Security Conference(www.nisc.org.uk) which runs from 18th - 20th May in Scotland. Tony 's session will include an update on Project Endurance which he describes as "a Law Enforcement, Government and Private Sector imitative to inform and educate computer users." I've been involved with a little of the planning for the project & am pleased to see information finally reaching the public domain. Incidentally Microsoft aren't speaking @ the NISC conference though we do work closely with the NHTCU.

Tony is an informative and engaging speaker - his session is advertised as follows:

"The Evolution of Hi-Tech Crime"
