Jisc has announced a new way to help UK tertiary education and research organisations better position themselves to deal with the evolving threat of cyber attacks. The survey tool has been developed with the help of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and uses questions based on their established Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF), which defines what good cyber security looks like in practice. From the responses, Jisc will produce an overview of cyber security postures throughout the UK’s universities and colleges that will allow individual institutions to benchmark themselves within the sector. Sharing the responses on a non-commercial basis with the NCSC will also, for the first time, enable benchmarking against other sectors. Click here for more.
