Security School Report is a free tool from LGfL that looks at your school's 'digital footprint' and checks it for known weaknesses in security to provide a score for your school. 

Broadly, the higher the score the less vulnerable the school is. At no charge, LGfL can provide you with a report detailing your vulnerabilities; and more importantly, how to fix them.  Click here to request your score.

LGfL's Internal Critical Vulnerability Scanner identifies potential security gaps and risks in the school network. The tool scans the local network looking for known vulnerabilities that a cybercriminal could take advantage of if they gained access to a computer within the school.

LGfL provides your school with a full report of the vulnerabilities that have been identified and information on how they can be mitigated.

LGfL Let's Get Digital Broadband Customers can request a vulnerability scan for free.

Phishing is a business, but it doesn’t stop at the school gate. If you are a busy teacher trying to sort as many emails as possible before the next lesson, it can be so easy to click on a suspicious email. Especially since they often don’t even look suspicious anymore.

LGfL schools are being offered the use of Sophos Home antivirus software free of charge to staff at LGfL schools. This commercial edition of Sophos protects up to 10 personal (not school! Use the other Sophos products for that) devices (PCs or Macs) per household.
