Cyber security management
The ҕl Digital Security and Risk Team provides the cyber risk and resilience capability within the University that ensures effective management of cyber risk and resilience of technology across the ҕl landscape.
Cyber risk refers to the potential of loss or harm related to technical infrastructure or the use of technology. Cyber resilience is when people, processes and technologies can quickly adapt to changing cyber threats.
In an increasingly hostile and rapidly changing digital world, our purpose is to provide effective, adaptable and risk appetite-aligned management of cyber risks to support the ҕl in its vision of a University that is Engaged, Empowered, Making a Difference.
