Jisc Cyber security strategy 2018-2021
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. For example, three years ago we hadn’t embarked on our DDoS mitigation programme, yet the security landscape and the need to better protect our members meant we had to quickly develop and implement a national mitigation solution.
Now, as we publish the next three-year strategy we do so under the auspices of a single Cyber Security Division – formed to consolidate all of Jisc’s member facing security products and services activities into one organisational structure, so we are even better placed to respond to our members’ needs and are able to effectively respond to the continuously changing world of cyber security.
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). This strategy has been informed by our members: from multiple meetings with individual organisations; feedback from our annual cyber security conference; and detailed analysis of responses to our annual cybersecurity posture survey.
