Webinar: Cyber Security in Education

We invite all MAT and School Leaders to join us for 30 minutes each half term as we bring you the very latest news in Education Technology.

 This session focuses on cyber security in education and the rapidly changing risk landscape facing schools and trusts. As threats continue to evolve, effective cyber security is no longer just about technology.

It is about people, processes, and finding the right balance between proactive protection and reactive response. This session will support leaders to understand where the real risks sit in 2026, and how to strengthen both technical and human defences across their organisation.

Why attend? 

• Understand how the cyber security landscape for schools and trusts is changing.
• Explore the balance between proactive cyber security measures and reactive incident response.
• Recognise why human behaviour is often the biggest risk factor in security incidents.
• Build confidence in leading a whole‑school approach to cyber awareness and resilience.
• Gain practical insight from EdTech and cyber security specialists working with schools.

Helping Schools to meet the Department for Education’s digital and technology standards.
