All types of education institutions are more likely to have identified cyber security breaches or attacks in the last 12 months than the average UK business and around one in ten have experienced cybercrime in the last 12 months.
With the professionalization of cybercrime and the rise of AI, cybercriminals can now create truly convincing and complex social engineering attacks. This makes it harder to tell the difference between genuine and malicious messages and with more digital ways to communicate, these threats are spreading faster than ever.
Schools have witnessed a dramatic increase in cyber-attacks, with the education sector becoming the third most targeted by cyber criminals. Protecting sensitive data and ensuring uninterrupted learning have become critical priorities for schools and multi academy trusts (MATs.) From ransomware to phishing scams, the risks are real, and the consequences can disrupt education, compromise sensitive data, and strain already limited resources. Raising awareness and fostering a strong cybersecurity culture is vital to safeguarding your school.
Our comprehensive cyber security services are designed to help your school or MAT remain secure, compliant and resilient and also help to meet Department for Education security standards and Risk Protection Arrangement (RPA) guidelines. Our solutions will help you identify vulnerabilities, educate staff and strengthen your network to minimise the risk of damaging and costly breaches.
