Experienced a School Data Breach?
You Must Act Quickly

Ransomware is on the Rise

Experiencing a data breach in schools is becoming increasingly common. A Cyber Security in UK schools report showed that 17% of schools reported a cyber attack. Ransomware was the most common attack (48%).

What Will You Tell Parents and the Media?

As a result of hacking in school systems, critical pupil coursework, HR files, parent contact details, payment systems and more can be lost. You grind to a standstill. You can’t even open. What will you tell stakeholders?

Files Locked, Criminals Want Money

Perhaps you notice you can’t access your systems remotely, or log in at school. Then you see a devastating message such as ‘Oops, your files have been encrypted’. A criminal is demanding payment for their release.

There is a solution to this problem

A cyber security provider with experience in the schools’ sector can quickly shut down these and any other types of cyber threats, secure your systems, and get your IT services back online.

Securing Your Systems:
How Our School Breach Response Service Works

1.

Detection and Identification:

Detect and identify the school’s data breach and the extent of the infection.

2.

Isolation and Containment:

Isolate infected systems from the network to prevent further spread of the virus.

3.

Backup Verification:

Check the availability and integrity of recent backups to ensure they are unaffected by the malware. Where there is no verified backup we will investigate other means of recovering data, such as redundant systems, archival data, or temporary storage locations.

4.

Ransomware Removal:

Remove the ransomware from the affected systems, eliminating the threat.

5.

Data Restoration:

Restore encrypted or locked data from the verified backups.

6.

System Recovery:

Reconfigure and recover the affected systems to ensure they function correctly and securely.

7.

Security Assessment:

Identify vulnerabilities that allowed the breach to occur and improve security to prevent future attacks.

8.

Post-Recovery Monitoring:

Monitor systems to ensure there are no signs of re-infection or any other malicious activity.

Stop Cyber Attacks Happening Again

Prevention is better than cure. But so many educational institutions spend tens of thousands of pounds on perimeter security and gates, and leave their IT infrastructure wide open to a school data breach!

Criminals are sophisticated. They know schools are a soft touch compared to resilient businesses. They’ll actually attack you at times when you’re most vulnerable and likely to pay a ransom – for instance, during exam week.

Don’t let these destructive forces have this edge on you. Your pupils, parents and colleagues deserve better!

I want to tighten our school's security

Intersys provides a three point pre-emptive plan to help ensure you won’t be shutting your gates and fielding calls to parents and the media.

1.

Breach Reponse Strategy

A watertight strategy to help stop criminals getting into your systems. This will include a cyber security audit to identify vulnerabilities and a roadmap for remedial action.

2.

Cyber Essentials Certification

We’ll help you meet these important standards to prove your compliance and high-security approach.

3.

Staff Training

Helping your people remain vigilant against phishing and guiding them on good cyber security practices.

We provide an ongoing overview of your school’s cyber security posture. Sign up for an ongoing security operations centre service to review your school’s cyber security.
