STRATEGIES TO SECURE SCHOOLS
Tech Engine Australia understand the risks that come with being online and are always looking for ways to make sure they can mitigate any vulnerabilities. They do this by following best practices, such as implementing a comprehensive framework of cybersecurity defences into their systems in order to keep our school safe from cyber attacks. By adhering to these guidelines, Tech Engine Australia helps ensure prioritized investments will be made where it matters most!
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides this critical guidance. Its Cybersecurity Framework breaks everything down into five simple key functions:
- Identify
- Protect
- Detect
- Respond
- Recover
- Identify – Manage risks and identify data, threats and capabilities.
Protect your sensitive data with the latest cloud technology. Tech Engine Australia will help you make an effective risk assessment strategy that involves taking stock of what’s in and on the network — for example, where the most sensitive student and employee data resides, what controls are in place to protect it, and what vulnerabilities need to be addressed.
2. Protect – Ensure appropriate safeguards to limit or contain the impact of cyberattacks.
All your technological worries will be taken care with the help of Tech Engine Australia.

3. Detect – Establish systems and capabilities to detect cyberattacks.
When it comes to cyber security, the most important thing is that you are able to detect and stop threats as quickly as possible. Tech Engine Australia will help your school set up automated monitoring tools which can identify potential risks without human intervention by using analytics.
4. Respond – Plan and execute activities to take action during a cybersecurity incident.
It’s important to develop a strong response plan after an attack. An incident can have disastrous consequences if it is not handled properly, and you need the right tools for any situation. Tech Engine Australia will make your school more resilient by helping them create a detailed gameplan that has been vetted by staff members in order to prevent as much damage or interruption of services as possible during these types of events with innovative technology like our product.
5. Recover – Restore capabilities and service impacted by cyberattacks and identify improvements to procedures and plans
Finally, the last steps of responding to a breach involves returning to the incident response plan and updating it based on the lessons learned. Even in the absence of attacks, plans should be reviewed regularly and Tech Engine Australia will help you stay on top of this!
