It is always wonderful to see advice and guidance being shared freely and openly, and most people here know how much I love having the opportunity to share as well. That is one of the joys of being at NetSupport now. The whole crew has the same mentality, from @Al_netsupport downwards.
For those who listened to last night's
, you may have heard Al and Mark mention the Cyber On A Shoestring online event that Derbyshire CC/Education Data Hub are running on the 7th December. I've included all the information below, including a link to the booking page on Eventbrite.
Freely available support for schools and early years settings around cyber security, online safety, and digital safeguarding.
'It’s not the money you spend, it’s the actions you take.'
Cyber security is probably the hottest topic in education right now. Once the realm of science fiction movies, cyber-attacks are, sadly, fast becoming a common news item with schools high up on the list of targets.
Too often, schools fail to take steps to secure and safeguard their settings, but you don’t need a big budget to make a big impact on security.
Join our free online event, dedicated to cyber security, online safety, and digital safeguarding. Created with schools, academies, and nurseries in mind, if you work in the education sector, this event is the ‘must attend’ of 2021.
Featuring speakers from:
The Department for Education
The National Cyber Security Centre
IASME
UK Safer Internet Centre
Regional Organised Crime Units
Police Cyber Resilience Centres
South West Grid for Learning
Crisis24

“A cyber-attack did more damage to our school than floods and a fire combined.” SBM, Derbyshire
“I understand where cyber security sits within our schools and I know what we need to do, but we have a long road ahead and I don’t know where to start.” ICT Technician, West Midlands
“The pandemic meant we were giving out devices, sharing data and connecting anywhere we could to get access. It wasn’t ideal and I know it is a risk, but what else could we do?” Headteacher, Tameside
“As a nursery, we were aware of online safety, but hadn’t really thought about the security of devices we gave to the children, until we started getting inappropriate messages and pop-ups.” Nursery Manager, Sheffield
