Tech tip Monday: a backup you've never tested isn't a backup.

Three quick checks to make this week:
1. Can you restore a single file, not just assume it works?
2. Is a copy kept somewhere an attack on your main network can't reach?
3. Does someone know who to call, and how long a full restore would take?

Which one could your school check this week?

Myth-buster Friday: "We're too small to be targeted."

The myth: cyber criminals only go after big organisations.

The reality: attackers often use automated tools that look for any weak spot, whatever the size of the school. And a small team can feel an attack hardest, because there's less capacity to recover.

What helps: staff who know what to look for, strong passwords with multi-factor authentication, up-to-date systems and backups you've actually tested.

Tech tip Monday: one reused password can open every door in your school.

Three quick wins:
1. Use a passphrase of three random words instead of a short "complex" password.
2. Never reuse a password across systems.
3. Let a password manager remember them, so staff don't have to.

Which one could your school do this week?

Most school IT problems are cheaper and less disruptive when they're caught early.

That's the idea behind managed IT support from ATS: proactive monitoring of your servers and devices, a helpdesk your staff can phone or log a ticket with, and engineers who know your school.

Phone support runs Monday to Friday, 7am to 6pm, with Saturday on-call cover.

Want to see what would suit your school? Call us on 020 8306 2002 or email [email protected].

See you there!

Tech tip Monday: the 10-second phishing check.

Before anyone in your school clicks a link, they should ask three questions. 1. Do I know this sender, and does the address really match? 2. Is it rushing me or worrying me (an "urgent" invoice, a "locked" account)? 3. Where does the link actually go when I hover over it?

If the answer to any of these is "not sure", don't click. Report it to ATS instead. Five seconds of doubt can save a school days of disruption.
