Cybersecurity Explained for Trustees

This seminar seeks to develop trustees’ awareness and understanding of the cyber risks that schools and trusts face, and how trusts must act to protect their pupils, staff, operations and reputation.

It will highlight good practice in managing cyber risk to which all organisations should aspire, including policies, behaviours and culture as well as technology. It will consider the regulatory environment for school trusts and explore how trustees can operate at a strategic level to support effective cyber security. It will consider the information that trustees should receive to gain assurance that your trust’s work in this area is effective, and proactively maintained as it grows and develops, and how cyber security should be an essential part of your trust’s evolving digital strategy.
