Survey exposes office workers' zero knowledge of 'geek speak'

Research by Infosecurity Europe of 1000 commuters aimed to find out if office workers understand ‘geek speak’ has discovered that many are not as tech or security aware as they could be. When asked what cloud computing meant, a quarter thought it was a data centre in the sky. A fifth thought it was something that Microsoft advertises, 10% global warming caused by overheating computers and 10% guessed it was a trendy club in SoHo. Only 35% thought it was a new way to access IT services over the internet. The survey was conducted in the run up to Infosecurity Europe’s forthcoming exhibition which takes place next week on 19th – 21st April 2011 at Earls Court in London.
