The education sector has experienced huge challenges over the past 18 months. Schools, colleges and universities were forced to act quickly as the pandemic hit, implementing new remote learning processes for students – and the technology needed to support them – while ensuring that new social distance protocols were implemented on campus.

These attacks have seen data stolen, increased pressure on already overstretched IT teams and teaching disrupted – including leaving remote learning students without access to vital services.
