Wed, Jun 17, 2026 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM IST
In this session, Tom Jarman, Senior Cybersecurity Auditor at Secure Schools, and Laura Kidd, Education Specialist at Redstor, Powered by CyberSentriq, will take a practical, real, world look at where education environments are most exposed, and why many schools, MATs, and the MSPs supporting them still have critical gaps in their cyber resilience strategy.
Tom will explore how organisations often invest in one area of protection while leaving others exposed, creating easy entry points for attackers. The session will focus on three key risk areas: malware, backups, and user behaviour, highlighting what’s at risk when these are not addressed together as part of a layered defence strategy.
You’ll gain insight into how modern threats such as phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and ransomware are evolving, and where traditional approaches can fall short. We’ll also look at common misconceptions around Microsoft 365 backup, including what may still be vulnerable if it’s your only line of defence, and why identity, configuration, and endpoint gaps matter.
The session will also cover the growing importance of security awareness training and phishing simulation, and how user behaviour continues to be one of the most exploited, yet most overlooked, areas of risk.
