'Degrees of security' Report
Vital research was conducted with 22 leading UK Universities to assess whether Higher Education is adequately secured for future success, or if it is failing to keep pace with the growing cyber threat.

Are UK Universities falling behind?
Learn what other Universities are doing in the cyber security space and what areas of transformation they are investing in most.
Cyber Governance
Uncover what seniority of cyber leader are typically found, who they report into, who they sit and how far from the Vice Chancellor / Council they are positioned.
Operating Model
How large are cyber teams across different types of University, how much are they growing and does having a larger team reduce the likelihood for a data breach.
Security Operations
Understand how other Universities are establishing security operations and monitoring, is it 24/7 and in-house vs outsourced.
Take a look inside

A Unique Approach
Numerous "surveys" already exist but they invariably attempt to benchmark control effectiveness which, due to the methodologies employed, are not overly insightful.
Instead, this in-person research investigated how UK Universities are structuring, funding and resourcing their cyber security functions. Are UK Universities setting themselves up for success or failing to keep pace with the building cyber threat?

In-Person Data Collection
Multiple in-person interviews were held with each participating University to discover insights which are impossible to collect via conventional surveys.
Diverse
Participants
22 Universities across the breadth of the UK were involved as part of the research, including 7 Russell Group Universities.
Context Specific Insights
Universities of different sizes and types operate differently. Universities were segmented based on location and student number to ensure insights are highly relevant depending on the size and type of University.
Cross Variable Analysis
Different findings were evaluated against one another to gain an even greater understanding of the insights gleamed. For example, does having a smaller cyber team mean you're more likely to suffer a major data breach?
