As I am sure that many of you are aware, this week is BETT.

Myself and a couple of HFL colleagues will be attending as visitors on Friday. If anyone wants to meet up for a quick chat or coffee, please drop me an email or give me a call.

Thanks, Kev

Does your school, or the school you are responsible for, have  inbound firewall rules that can be removed? I strongly suspect there may be legacy inbound firewall rules in place exposing schools to cyber attacks unnecessarily.  If you wish to review what access is in place at your school, please reach out to me and we can take a look at this together.

Thanks, Kev

RM have advised all is now stable:
“We have implemented a fix allowing browsing to resume for Google Services. It was also identified that CPOMs was affected by the same issue, which has also now been resolved. If you continue to experience issues, please log these via your normal support channels.”

Good morning. Users are currently getting a blocked page when accessing Google this morning. This has been passed to RM and is being looked into. Thanks, Kev

Good morning all. It looks like there are internet issues with Cloudfare once again:

This is obviously not something that neither HFL or RM have control over and hopefully this isn’t causing schools too much disruption.

Thanks,
Kev
