Distance Learning: Why Hackers Want to Stop it and What You Can Do to Protect it.

About this event

Most schools have tried their hand at variations of distance learning, from delivering lessons via virtual learning environments (VLEs) to presenting school assemblies via video conferencing platforms such as Zoom. Data Privacy and safeguarding issues relating to the use of technology have been well documented, revealing the plethora of risk. In this webinar 9ine’s Founder and Manager Director, Mark Orchison, explores the following:

  • The most common cyber threats facing distance learning
  • Examples of tactics used by attackers to compromise school IT systems with a view to extort money through ransomware
