Why do schools need a cyber security health check?

For schools today, being cyber secure and cyber-savvy is top of the agenda. With all the threats that teachers and students encounter, ensuring optimum data security and effective continuity is imperative!  Should you be the target for a cyber-attack or phishing scam, would your cyber defences be up to the challenge?

Cyber criminals are continuously devising new ways to disrupt, compromise and steal from schools, and your cyber defences have to ensure you’re not a victim. This means regular testing, patching and update solutions need to be implemented, or risk vulnerabilities in your cyber defences. Furthermore, the training of teachers, members of staff, students and parents continues to be an important measure.

• When did you last analyse your cyber security measures?
