9-13 October 2017 is Stay Smart Online week, a national government initiative to help individuals and businesses to develop strong protection from a range of online threats.

MSS IT are giving back to the community to do our part in cybersecurity education with a series of events in October as part of our Cybersecurity Roadshow. From health organisations to the education industry to large corporations, our Business Development Manager Harriet Mellor will be out and about to help you understand threats, options for pro-active protection and how to keep your staff (and family) safe online.

Check out the upcoming events below as part of Stay Safe Online Week.

EVENT 1

ICT by the Sea – education conference event

October 3-5 saw over 150 teachers, ICT leaders and education industry professional descend on Rendezvous, Scarborough for the annual ICT by the Sea conference. As a major partner of the event, MSS IT held a number of panel discussions to educate the educators about how technology can transform digital learning, and keep students, teachers and parents safe online.

One such event was a panel with Iona Presentation College’s Director of ICT, Tom Brajdic. Joined by Sophos National Sales Director David Sykes, the panel showcased the college’s experience with the implementation of a cybersecurity solution (Sophos) for the school.

The digital revolution in the education sector has seen the increased application of one-to-one devices in schools. Iona Presentation College was determined to upgrade its IT services to safeguard their network across the school’s desktop, tablet and mobile devices to ensure the safety and integrity of the system.
