CYBERSECURITY

In today’s digital age, cybersecurity is more critical than ever. With the increasing sophistication of cyber threats and more schools being targeted, you must stay ahead of the curve to protect sensitive data and maintain system integrity.

Understanding Cyber Threats in Education

Schools are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals due to the valuable data they hold and often limited cybersecurity resources. Here are some of the most common threats:

  • Malware Attacks: Malicious software designed to infiltrate and damage systems. Schools have seen a significant rise in malware attacks, particularly targeting smart devices used in education.
  • Ransomware: Cybercriminals hijack a school’s network or data, demanding a ransom for its release. These attacks can cause prolonged disruptions and financial strain.
  • Phishing: Fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive information by disguising as trustworthy entities. Phishing attacks often target staff and students through convincing emails.
  • DDoS Attacks: Distributed Denial of Service attacks overwhelm systems, causing them to crash and disrupt educational activities.
  • Insider Threats:Risks posed by individuals within the organisation, whether intentional or accidental, leading to data breaches.
