Dear Colleague ,

Welcome back! We hope you managed to have a great break over the summer. This week we will be telling you about:

• Security School Report - Changed anything over the summer?
• Active Directory Security - How to ensure AD is secure
• Office 365 Security - Have you used the O365 Security Portal?
• Cybersecurity Training for School Staff - Spaces still available

Security School Report

Have you made changes during the summer that could affect your public security exposure? For example a new VPN, Remote Desktop Service or changes to your website. Then it's a good idea to get an up-to-date copy of your Security School Report just in case you've introduced a new vulnerability.

Or you may just want to check that there aren't any new threats that weaken your security.

Active Directory Security

Active Directory holds the keys to the kingdom, but do you know if it's secure?

Why not take a look at PingCastle which can be run for free? It will provide a report on the security of your AD, detailing what vulnerabilities you have, and how to resolve them.

Office 365 Security

Would you like to know how to make Office 365 more secure? Microsoft has developed the Secure Score Tool that does just that.

It can guide you through different settings, policies and approaches you can take to harden your Microsoft Cloud. The tool also compares how you're doing with other similar organisations.

Cybersecurity Training for School Staff

Are you confident you're up to date with what schools need to know about cybersecurity? We have several dates available in the Autumn term for our free NCSC Cybersecurity Training for School Staff course.

Do get in touch if you have any questions or suggestions, or if you want to find out more about security at LGfL.

Kind regards,

Your CyberCloud Team
