School security support

Promoting good cyber security across all schools 

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Evaluate the school’s ability to sustain critical services during a widespread IT disruption
• Understand the increasing risk of cyberattacks, including those that may incapacitate systems for extended periods
• Identify key challenges in responding effectively to IT incidents while safeguarding the wellbeing of staff and students
• Apply expert-led guidance to strengthen incident response and recovery approaches within a school setting
• Collaborate with key stakeholders (senior leadership, IT staff, governors, and wider staff) to review and improve resilience

This session is a facilitated tabletop exercise designed to assess how effectively a school can maintain critical operations during a major IT disruption. With a growing number of schools experiencing cyberattacks that have disabled essential systems for extended periods, responding quickly and appropriately has become increasingly complex. Guided by expert support from East Midlands Special Operations Unit, the exercise typically runs for 90 to 120 minutes and brings together key stakeholders, including senior leadership, IT management, governors, and additional staff, to collaboratively test and strengthen the school’s resilience.
