“As a school we go above & beyond the requirements of current legislation, so when we wanted to step up our IT security to the next level we needed a leading company” Director of IT Services & Development - Wellington College

Cyber Security

It’s paramount that schools provide a safe learning environment for pupils. This extends beyond the classroom environment to your IT & cyber security.

In today’s technology-driven world, breaches are commonplace. Malware, phishing, social engineering, data theft – the list of risks and attack vectors are endless. Schools must be prepared for when – not if – an attack is mounted. The consequences of a breach are far-reaching and, especially where children are concerned, can be devastating.
