We are the Computer Security and Incident Response Team (CSIRT) for the Janet network. Part of Jisc's Security Operations Centre, our mission is to safeguard the current and future network security of Janet (steering the security policies for all Janet connections) and of our customers, creating a secure environment to conduct your online activities. Our primary function is monitor and resolve any security incidents that occur on the Janet network, with specialists tracking a range of platforms, including Unix, Linux and Windows.

These statistics only relate to information collated by Janet CSIRT and do not provide an accurate sample of security activity across the research and education sectors. The figures are frequently more closely correlated to the activity of CSIRT and our detection of events rather than their actual rates of incidence.

For example: a successful investigation by researchers into a botnet will cause that month's malware figures to rise even though the malware may have been active in previous months.

Running traditional flat networks is now an ageing model and it is an outdated assumption that everything on the inside of an organization’s network should be trusted.[1] By segmenting a network and applying appropriate controls, we can break a network into a multi-layer structure that hinders threat agents or actions from reaching hardened systems and restricts their movement across the network.

Some of you may remember that last year we issued a survey to learn more about education and research organisation’s cyber security posture and to help Jisc better support your needs in this area. We had a great response last year, but now we want to see what has changed – are your security needs still the same? Have you now achieved Cyber Essentials so feel more confident about your security posture? Are you seeing different threats? Do you now have a strategic lead responsible for cyber security?
