n our first feature this month, Education Today is delighted to showcase a selection of the suppliers who we have worked with over the past academic year.
It’s no secret that schools are seen as a potential target by hackers and other digital bad actors – there have been many stories recently in the news of schools and other educational establishments being subjected to cyber attacks and ransomware attempts. That is why it is so important to make sure your cyber defences are in the best shape they can
As well as the digital side of life at school, there also other pressing concerns, not least of which is the need for more learning space – and highlighted company TG Escapes, an awarding winning, UK-based, eco building company founded in 2003, is on hand to offer just that with their modular buildings solution, already installed in over 800 buildings across the UK.
Of course, the above is just a taster of what’s on offer across the following pages, with lots of other suppliers offering a range of products and services – we hope very much you’ll find something of interest, either to solve a problem you were struggling to address, or to make your school life just that little bit easier!
Do you know how well protected your school is from a cyber-attack?
Cyber Security, in Plain English A
ll too often it seems we’re reading about the latest school that has fallen victim to a cyber-attack, leaving headteachers, managers, teachers, staff, and students in chaos.
Disruption to schools caused by attacks can require a significant amount of recovery time to re-enable critical services, student records, financial information, and personal details.
Dr Ian Levy, Technical Director, at the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) says that organisations need to have better systems and technology in place to demotivate the cyber adversaries, thwart attacks and protect networks.
Schools Broadband, the specialist internet service provider for schools, provides schools and MATs with a security service that does just that. The service provides an affordable yet higher grade security solution, allowing schools to connect any number of sites, regardless of their location, to the Schools Broadband robust security platform, protecting schools from the severest of attacks.
A leading provider of internet security and web filtering for education, Schools Broadband has been awarded “Best Security and Best Cloud Services” five times by the Internet Service Providers Association.
To discuss best value internet connectivity, filtering and safeguarding monitoring plus security for your school or MAT, in a language you can understand, contact a member of the Schools Broadband team. We’re happy to help
