Concero Protect

Protect your users, data and devices from cyber security threats with Concero Protect

Keeping schools safe and secure is in our DNA at Concero. Schools and Trusts are faced with an evolving Cyber Security Threat that is all too often putting them at risk of severe disruption and reputational damage at best, and data and systems loss, financial loss and safeguarding issues and GDPR breaches in the worst cases.

83% of schools recently reported experiencing some form of Cyber Security Incident* and 69% of schools report being hit by phishing attacks*allowing criminals to target busy school environments and leading to large scale data breaches and disruption schools can ill afford.

At the same time, use of technology is growing in schools, with more users and devices being used in a variety of ways, accessing resources and data through new systems and technologies that provide engaging lessons and reduce workload for staff.

Schools are targeted by criminals because they believe that the sector is underfunded and is not able to provide high levels of security.

Concero Protect provides schools with Cyber Security expertise to minimise the change of attacks and supports schools if the worst happens.
