| As global centres of learning, research and innovation, and key contributors to the economy, UK universities hold a treasure trove of personal and research data, intellectual property and other data assets that make them a tempting target for attacks by cyber criminals and state-sponsored actors, according to the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), which has just published an assessment of the cyber security threat to academia.Commenting on the NCSC’s assessment, Varonis technical director Matt Lock said: “The recommendations from the NCSC are spot on, but some universities will struggle to change outdated systems, gain control of digital files that are everywhere and open to everyone, and update information access to a least-privilege model.“Funding is one factor, but so is managing data in a collaborative academic environment in which information must be shared, turnover is steady, and attackers have countless tools and tricks up their sleeves to compromise systems. Attackers will continue to win until UK universities make data protection a priority,” he said.IT and security teams within universities were also failing to properly protect themselves, claimed EfficientIP, which said over half of those surveyed currently tried to mitigate attacks by shutting down services, servers, processes and connections, which might help stop an in-progress attack but does little to increase overall protection.“We live in an era of governments declaring a state of emergency and officially involving themselves with cyber attacks on schools. Reaching this point means the education sector’s problems are escalating. Education organisations need to be more proactive, fully embracing DNS security. Otherwise, application downtime and the loss of sensitive and confidential data will keep damaging their reputations, alienating prospective students.” -- ???????? | |||
