Two major cybersecurity concerns for the college
There were two main concerns that Barnet and Southgate College had regarding their cybersecurity. They were frequently targeted by threat actors with phishing scams, and they used more than one service for users to sign into accounts, both of which created a riskier IT environment.
Recommendations for reducing cybersecurity risks in an education environment
After a thorough investigation and audit, Fuse recommended that the college reduce the risk of being compromised by deploying multi-factor authentication (MFA) into their environment. Additionally, they advised that the college extend the Azure Active Directory for Office 365 they were already using, to integrate it with their other existing services. Azure Active Directory includes a cloud-based MFA service and has the capabilities to protect existing on-premise and cloud systems.
If you want to understand more about MFA we explain more in this article What Is MFA?
Results of implementing Azure Active Directory for Office 365 and MFA for a higher education college
The results of the integration of systems and deployment of MFA have been widespread and positive. With all users required to have MFA set up, the risk for phishing scams and cyber attacks has decreased. The integration of the different systems under one main system has enhanced cybersecurity overall and improved the reliability of the cloud, administrative components, and infrastructure.
Positive Impacts and expectations exceeded
Alex Gimenez is the IT Systems Manager in the Technology Innovation & Development Department at Barnet and Southgate College. Here is an excerpt of the feedback they gave Fuse in an interview, after the project was complete.
Reflecting on the project, could you highlight three specific changes that had the most positive impact on the college?
“Migrated Exchange on-premises to O365 for over 1000 staff, enabling us to have a better and more reliable system on the cloud.
Implemented Microsoft 365 Enhanced Hardening, enhancing our protection for students and staff against cybersecurity threats.
Replaced on-premises ADFS with Azure AD, eliminating the reliance on on-premises systems for authentication.”
Were there any aspects of our service that exceeded your expectations? This could include issues resolved, lessons learned, or any unexpected positive outcomes.
“The consistent excellence in service, coupled with the resolution of issues and the continuous learning opportunities, has truly exceeded my expectation.”
Alongside the technical aspects of the project, Fuse shared learning resources from Microsoft to help the users adopt to new systems seamlessly.

There are many offerings available in the area of IT support, O365, Azure etc etc. Finding an organisation skilled with resource that can advise at 1st point, fix at first point and equally able to follow up with a full e2e service is rare especially at an affordable rate with value.

Common cybersecurity questions
What is cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity refers to the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks. These cyberattacks are typically aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information, extorting money from users, or interrupting normal business processes.
Is cybersecurity expensive?
The cost of cybersecurity varies depending on the size of your business and the level of protection required. While there can be an upfront investment, the cost is often justifiable when compared to the potential financial losses and reputational damage that can result from a security breach. At Fuse, we offer tailored packages to fit different budgets and needs, including for non-profits and charities.
What is a backup?
A backup is a copy of data stored separately from the original. This copy can be used to restore the original data in the event of data loss due to hardware failure, cyberattacks, or other disasters. Regular backups are a critical component of any robust cybersecurity strategy.
Are cyber threats increasing?
Yes, cyber threats are continuously evolving and increasing in sophistication and frequency. New vulnerabilities are discovered regularly, making it essential for businesses to stay informed and take proactive measures to protect their digital assets. For the latest information on cybersecurity threats, visit the National Cyber Security Centre.
What are cyber incidents?
Cyber incidents are events that can lead to a breach in a company’s security. These can include personal data breaches, ransomware attacks, phishing scams, and other malicious activities that compromise the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of data.
Who are cybersecurity attackers?
Cybersecurity attackers range from individual hackers to organised crime groups and state-sponsored entities. Their motivations can vary from causing disruption, to financial gain, or political agendas. Disgruntled ex and current employees can be cyber attackers motivated only to ruin the reputation of a business. Understanding the potential attackers helps in developing effective defence strategies.
What kinds of cyber-attacks are there?
There are several types of cyber-attacks including:
Phishing - Deceptive emails or messages that trick users into providing sensitive information.
Ransomware - Malicious software that encrypts data and demands a ransom for its release.
DDoS Attacks - Distributed Denial-of-Service attacks that overwhelm systems with traffic, causing them to crash.
Malware - Software designed to harm or exploit any programmable device or network.
Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks - Intercepting and altering communication between two parties without their knowledge.
These are just a few of the multiple kinds of cyber-attacks, check out our cybersecurity glossary for more knowledge.
Is cloud software safe?
Cloud software can be very safe if proper security measures are in place. Reputable cloud service providers implement rigorous security protocols to protect data. However, it’s crucial for businesses to perform due diligence and ensure their employees follows best practices and understand how to use the cloud services effectively.
Fuse offer secure cloud services and ensure all data stored in the cloud is adequately protected, we also offer bespoke employee training to further cement cybersecurity as a whole.
