DPO: Cyber Security 10AM

The digital age is making the world more interconnected than ever before. Which means that Data Breaches can and do happen every day. COVID-19 has increased our reliance on digital technologies and has changed the cyber security landscape.

Alongside the enormous opportunities offered by this digital age comes an increased threat of cyber-attacks. We used to think schools were safe, but in recent years and months we have seen numerous schools come under attack.

During the session we will be focusing on:

• Threats and vulnerabilities
• GDPR security standards
• GDPR incident reporting
• Common pitfalls

Let us introduce you to this week's professional speaker
