| Cybersecurity Programme |
To improve the collegiate University’s ability to defend itself from, and respond to, cybersecurity threats the Cybersecurity Programme will implement new tools such as rolling out Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) to departments and colleges. This will greatly improve our ability to detect and respond to malicious activity. The programme is also reviewing ways of enhancing endpoint (e.g. laptops) detection capability to be able to further improve our ability to limit damage from security compromises. To prevent data breaches due to human error, a Data Loss Prevention solution will be implemented for email which can alert users to the potential of a data breach (such as multiple email addresses in ‘cc’ rather than ‘bcc’). The ‘Oxford Secure’ campaign will also increase awareness amongst staff and students of their security responsibilities and the behaviours we can all adopt to limit the risk of cybersecurity threats. |
