Education Inspectorate report. The report is about the systemic investigation of cyber threats in higher education.
The Education Inspectorate has published a report on digital resilience in higher education and outlines what the higher education system can do to increase cyber resilience:
Make cybersecurity an integral part of risk management by
central direction from the board, increase knowledge and expertise, raise awareness in
all levels of the organization, question freedoms in decentralized parts of
the organization.
Monitor and improve by making explicit the level of ambition based on a shared
cybersecurity standards framework with the entire organization - and the system -
and periodically identifying what improvements and measures
are needed.
Share information more and more broadly by giving all institutions access to
information on vulnerabilities and specific cyber threats. Otherwise, the
differences in the level of cyber resilience among ho institutions
(e.g., large versus small, funded versus non-funded) will increase.
Collaborate throughout the higher education chain so that institutions can jointly
take measures that educational institutions cannot
realize individually.
Increase and make explicit ownership by clearly placing ownership for cybersecurity
within the system in addition to the existing powerful
informal exchanges in the system.
More direction from government by increasing
reflection at universities, colleges and rphos on the chosen level of ambition, and aligning the steps to that
level of ambition between boards, policy and supervision.
