"UK Schools Offered Free Cyber Defense Tools"

Schools in the UK can now use free cyber defense tools from the nation's leading experts to help them strengthen the protection of their emails and websites from cyberattacks. The UK government encourages all UK schools to sign up for Mail Check and Web Check, which are two services helping organizations identify and fix potential cybersecurity issues. The Web Check service can scan websites for common significant vulnerabilities and send a report to organizations flagging any issues and offering advice on how to fix them. The Mail Check service helps technical teams assess and improve anti-spoofing controls and email privacy measures. Both tools come from the UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and have been rolled out to help schools defend against cybercriminals' activities, which can put sensitive data at risk, damage institutions' reputations, and disrupt critical operations. This article continues to discuss the goals and effectiveness of the free cyber defense tools now being offered to UK schools.
