Cyber security update: Protect your organisation against cyber attacks

Last year, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) issued an alert in response to further targeted ransomware attacks on the education sector by cyber criminals. 

Ransomware attacks have a devastating impact on schools and colleges, with it often taking considerable lengthy periods of time to restore services to usual capacity and functionality. These types of events also attract the interest of media and can become high profile.

The NCSC reports that attacks on the education sector have resulted in the loss of student coursework, financial information, and Covid-19 testing data.
