How can schools improve cyber security and online safeguarding?

Cyber security and safeguarding are now critical priorities for education providers. Schools are increasingly targeted by phishing attacks, ransomware and unauthorised access attempts, while safeguarding requirements continue to evolve. Modern telecoms and broadband solutions can include advanced firewalls, secure network segmentation, content filtering, monitored Wi-Fi usage and multi-factor authentication. Many schools also implement separate networks for safeguarding systems, VoIP telephony and student devices to improve resilience and security.
