The Cyber Security Subscription designed specifically for the Education Sector

The pandemic dramatically affected the education sector. To allow core curriculum and examinations to continue for students, systems, such as cloud-based software, video conferencing tools, and gamified e-learning activities, became invaluable. However, this shift to complete reliance on technology meant that the cyber-attack surface expanded, with an increasing number of e-institutions made vulnerable from using new systems throughout the school day.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) highlighted the rapid increase of threat of ransomware attacks on the UK education sector during August/September 2020. With most educational settings now returning to in-person learning, the sector is still firmly in the sights of threat actors. In late May and early June, the NCSC again warned that it was investigating another increase in ransomware attacks against schools, colleges and universities in the UK. This is echoed by Microsoft who, from global threat activity, places the education sector firmly in first place, claiming it is currently the most affected industry of reported enterprise malware encounters.

A well-protected organisation has the potential to be confident and the most innovative. The smartest establishments don’t just manage cyber risk, they use it as a source to develop, to stay safely at the forefront of the benefits of digitalisation and to strengthen their reputation. Technology makes many things possible, but possible doesn’t always mean safe. As cyber threats grow in volume and sophistication, and technology becomes essential for meeting the needs of your pupils, staff, suppliers and society, your cyber security must build resilience and trust.

That’s because we bring a combination of technological expertise, deep sector knowledge, and creative professionals who are passionate about protecting and building your organisation.
