Cyber Security

 Cyber Security

Any organisation that is connected online is vulnerable to the many threat vectors that exist out there.
Nowadays, that means pretty much everybody, from businesses of all sizes to schools, colleges and universities.
Nobody is 100% safe due to complacency, ignorance, technical redundancy and human error, but we can help with all those things.

What is cyber security?

Cyber security is how individuals and organisations reduce the risk of cyber attack.

Cyber security’s core function is to protect the devices we all use (smartphones, laptops, tablets and computers), and the services we access – both online and at work – from theft or damage.

It’s also about preventing unauthorised access to the vast amounts of personal information we store on these devices, and online.

Why is it important?

Cyber security is important because smartphones, computers and the internet are now such a fundamental part of modern life, that it’s difficult to imagine how we’d function without them. 

From online banking and shopping, to email and social media, it’s more important than ever to stake steps that can prevent cyber criminals getting hold of our accounts, data, and devices.

Why is cyber security important for the education sector?

The more worrying breaches are where student safety is compromised. It’s an unfortunate fact that, while cybersecurity in Education is necessary to protect against financial loss and prevent disruption, it’s also crucial to protect students from harm.

We can protect, train & educate your staff to help guard against attacks.
