As cyber threats rise, school leaders are urged to fortify their defences at EdExec LIVE’s essential seminar
As cyber threats against educational institutions surge, the Cybersecurity for Schools: Keeping Your School Data Safe seminar at EdExec Live promises to arm school leaders with essential tools and strategies to safeguard their institutions.
Recent statistics highlight the pressing need for improved cybersecurity in education. A report from the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) revealed that 78% of UK schools have experienced at least one cybersecurity incident, ranging from phishing attacks to ransomware breaches.
The financial implications of these breaches are staggering. Cyberattacks cost UK schools an estimated £3.5 million annually, with recovery efforts often diverting precious resources from core educational needs.
The seminar aligns with calls from the Department for Education (DfE) to bolster digital resilience in schools. As schools increasingly rely on digital tools for learning and administration, the stakes for cybersecurity have never been higher.
