Take steps to mitigate the risk of ransomware attacks

Ransomware attacks have a damaging impact on schools, with a significant amount of recovery time and resources required to reinstate systems. Since 2020, the DfE announced the education sector has become a notable target for cybercriminals after an unprecedented increase in ransomware attacks on schools.
