There has been an increase in Cyber Attacks on schools across the UK in recent years. Yesterday it was reported in the news that a school in Essex became victims of a Cyber Attack. The names, addresses and medical notes of children from The Billericay School were accessed by criminals over the half term break. Read more about this case in the BBC news article here.

Last year, cyber attacks on schools increased by 55% according to a BBC report. With the threat of cyber attacks increasing each year, it is even more essential that schools have a reliable cyber security package in place. As many as 98% of schools have no cyber security strategy in place, leaving themselves openly vulnarable to attacks. Last year 17% of schools reported Cyber Attacks, and this figure is expected to increase every year.

Trailblaze IT offer schools a choice of three Cyber Security packages so that you can choose one that suits your school and budget. View our table below to compare our packages. Our Cyber Security services include 24/7 Threat Detection and Prevention to ensure your school is protected all of the time, including half terms and school holidays. Our Disaster Recovery Solution will protect your school from data loss in the event of a fire, flood or Cyber Attack. We also provide Email Security to shield you from spoofing and phishing attacks. View more of our Cyber Security services in the lists below.

We are currently offering schools across the UK a free IT review, followed by a report detailing any areas of vulnerability within your system. Each area will be highlighted Red, Amber and Green to show the severity of the vulnerabilities. This free review is completed remotely, and there is no obligation for follow up work.
