In June 2021; the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) issued a warning to schools and colleges about the unprecedented levels of cyber-attacks. Schools should therefore be focused on ensuring that they have the right IT policies and procedures in place that cover the use of ICT systems and data security; including compliance with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). This course provides you with the knowledge and skills to understand what cyber security is; the different types of cyber threats and the measures you can take to protect your organisation from harm.
