Cyber Security and Data Privacy: Practical Steps to Stay Safe Online | Secondary

This webinar will provide headteachers, governors, school leaders and teachers with practical guidance and support on recognising and responding to cyber security threats and malicious attempts to access data, and better managing data privacy online.

It’s reported that the summer months often see a rise in ransomware attacks against education settings in the UK, as cybercriminals turn their attention to a sector that is focused on delivering exam results and preparing for the return of students for the new academic year. Given that settings hold large amounts of sensitive personal data on pupils, parents and staff, all of this must be kept safe and secure.

In this webinar, Gary Henderson, cyber security specialist and director of IT, explores how settings can defend themselves against cyber attacks focused on accessing personal data, understanding the link between cyber security and data privacy and how settings can seek to manage their digital footprint.
