Way back in March 2015 Jisc published its first Cyber security strategy, covering the security products and services that we offered or were planning on delivering over the subsequent three years. A lot has changed over this period, however the objectives of this original strategy have been broadly met, along with other solutions as we constantly revised our plans to best meet the needs of our members.

This new Cyber security strategy looks at how Jisc will work to protect our members and the Janet network from cyber attacks over the next three years (2018-2021).

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’d really like your help in finding out what more Jisc can do to help best support and protect institutions and the Janet network and would appreciate it if you would answer some questions about your institution’s security posture.
We’ve put together a short survey that will be used by us to develop new security-related services, to prioritise planned activities and to assist in protecting the Janet network. The survey should take approximately 20 minutes to complete and we’ll provide an anonymised summary back to you if you wish.

Since the DDoS attack on the Janet network just before Christmas last year, we’ve had the opportunity to reach around 700 representatives of our member organisations to inform and collect feedback through a number of workshops and webinars.
This opportunity for engagement has highlighted a number of activity areas related to the network and associated technologies for us to address. This document will focus on what we will be delivering during this current year.
