Government’s education cybersecurity warning
06 October 2020
The UK government’s national security body has warned the country’s education system about possible cyberattacks, as students across the country return to school following the nationwide lockdown that curtailed the last academic year.
Fears have arisen that institutions could face attack due to a lack of proper protection and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) said that schools and universities need to take steps immediately to make sure they stay protected. This includes moves such as upgrading cybersecurity protection, ensuring data is stored securely, and making sure systems are backed up away from the premises.
