Cyber Security for Governors

Course description

Schools rely heavily on IT and online services to function. They also hold large amounts of sensitive personal data on pupils, parents, and staff. All this data needs to be kept safe and secure, and this is not just down to your IT department. Cyber-attacks are not going away, if anything, they will become more commonplace. This session examines the strategic role of governing boards, focusing on ensuring that the school or trust has IT policies and procedures in place that cover the use of ICT systems, data security and compliance.

By the end of the session delegates will:

• Understand what cyber security is and the threat it presents to our schools
• Understand the schools' duties around cyber security
• Feel confident and engage in discussion around cyber security while creating a positive cyber security culture
• Know what questions to ask ensuring schools are fulfilling their duties
• How to respond in the event of a cyber attack
