Welcome to our Cyber Security for Schools & MAT's page. Our tailored cybersecurity solutions are designed to protect educational institutions from potential cyber threats and ensure a safe digital learning environment.
Free Cyber security training for school staff - via the NCSC
A cyber security training package for school staff to help improve their school's cyber resilience.
The NCSC has produced free cyber security training to raise awareness and help school staff manage some of the key cyber threats facing schools.
The training is available in two formats:
- a scripted presentation pack for group delivery can be found below in the 'Downloads' section of this link - https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/information/cyber-security-training-schools
The presentation pack can be used by schools and the education sector to help teach school staff at physical or virtual group sessions - like INSET days or staff meetings. - a self-learn video
for staff to complete by themselves is also available on YouTube. The self-learn video includes the same content as the presentation pack, but can be undertaken by a member of staff by themselves at a convenient time.
