Cyber Attack Live: What would your organisation do?

For many organisations, cyber security is still seen as something that happens in the background with systems in place, software installed and boxes ticked, but when an attack happens, it quickly becomes very real.

• Systems go down
• Access is lost
• Staff are unable to work
• Communication becomes difficult

In education settings, this can mean disruption to learning, safeguarding concerns, and pressure on already stretched teams. While strong cyber security measures are essential, prevention is only part of the picture.

What really matters is:

• How quickly you detect an issue
• How effectively you respond
• How well you recover

Having the right support in place can make the difference between a minor disruption and a major incident.

Bringing it to life: Cyber Attack Live

That’s why we’ve created Cyber Attack Live – an interactive event designed to show exactly how a cyber attack unfolds in real time.

Delivered by abtec in partnership with Sophos, this session goes beyond theory to demonstrate:

• How an attack can impact your organisation
• What happens behind the scenes during an incident
• How the right response can limit disruption
• How organisations can recover and move forward

It’s a practical, real-world look at something many organisations haven’t experienced, but need to be prepared for.

Supporting Schools and Organisations

At abtec, we work closely with schools, colleges, and organisations to provide reliable, secure IT that supports day-to-day operations.

This includes:

• Cyber security and monitoring
• Filtering and safeguarding solutions
• Cloud and Microsoft technologies
• Ongoing technical support and guidance

We understand the challenges organisations face and the importance of having IT that just works, especially when it matters most.

Technology continues to evolve, and with it, both the opportunities and risks. AI and cloud-based systems are becoming more embedded in education and business environments, offering new ways to improve productivity and collaboration.

But they also bring new considerations around security, access, and data protection.

Understanding how to balance innovation with security is key, and something we’ll also explore as part of Cyber Attack Live.

If you’re responsible for IT, safeguarding, or operational delivery within your organisation, Cyber Attack Live is designed to give you practical insight you can take away and apply immediately.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of:

• What a cyber attack really looks like
• How to respond effectively
• What steps you can take to strengthen your organisation
