Protecting pupil data
Schools and colleges are among the top targets for phishing, ransomware and data theft. With large volumes of personal information and limited cybersecurity resources, attackers see education as an easy entry point.
Ofsted is urging schools to step up protection, but nearly half (47%) still say they’re not prepared for a cyberattack.
