This month marks Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and the theme for 2025 is “Stay Safe Online.” In education, this is not just a luxury—it’s a necessity. Students and teachers need the ability to learn, take exams, and collaborate seamlessly without worrying about the privacy and security of their data. Achieving this requires awareness across technology, processes, and human behavior.
Security is built on trust: can you be sure that data is processed correctly, accurately, and is always available while being protected from misuse? Is access properly managed, and can incidents be traced? This is why we are ISO 27001 certified—we are committed to continuously strengthening that trust, from risk assessments to change management. Students, educators, publishers, exam providers, and educational institutions must rely on both our software and our organization. Digital security isn’t just a product you buy; it’s a commitment upheld daily.
This year’s theme highlights four everyday actions that can make a big difference: using strong passwords with a password manager, enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) on critical applications, recognizing and reporting phishing attempts, and keeping systems updated to close known vulnerabilities. These actions are not just checklist items—they should become daily habits.
Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. Boards, IT departments, software providers, educators, and students must work together as partners. This collaboration involves clear agreements on data access and sharing, joint testing of backup and recovery procedures, and consistent escalation paths when something suspicious occurs. Only then can a truly safe digital education infrastructure exist.
Awareness is valuable, but behavior change is crucial. That’s why our products, such as Skillsly, Remindo and OnStage, are designed to promote safe behavior through thoughtful user experiences. This includes offering MFA by default, warning or blocking weak passwords, periodically revalidating login sessions, providing audit trails with immutable logs, continuous monitoring with active alerts, and redundant infrastructure. These features make it easier to take the right actions.
We prioritize this because education is founded on trust: ensuring that exam results are fair, portfolios remain private, and systems are available when demand peaks. That trust depends on discipline in small actions, performed day after day. So let’s take responsibility together: enable MFA, use a password manager, report suspicious messages, and update your systems without delay. This is how we keep learning open, assessments fair, and data protected.
