What can we learn from a sensitive data breach in academia?   Mishandling sensitive data can severely damage academic reputations.   To mitigate these risks, the National Protective Security Authority (NPSA), jointly with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), has produced a series of videos under the Trusted Research advice and guidance. These videos are designed to help UK universities and research institutions make informed decisions about international collaboration.   Watch the videos on the NPSA website or on our YouTube channel. https://lnkd.in/eqpa6Sfh #npsa #ncsc #trustedresearch

Today, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) announced the launch of its 2024 annual review, reflecting on this past year’s cyber security threats and trends, and priorities for the future.    NCSC CEO Richard Horne highlighted the role of partners and the importance of strengthening the UK’s resilience against an increasingly complex and challenging threat landscape:   “Last week, you will have heard the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster warn about the aggression and recklessness of cyber activity we see coming from Russia.    And with our partners – including at the National Protective Security Authority, otherwise known as the NPSA – we can see how cyber-attacks are increasingly important to Russian actors, along with sabotage threats to physical security which both the Director General of MI5 and the Chief of SIS have spoken about recently.”   To find out more, visit the NPSA website. https://lnkd.in/eJy_K4C5 #ncsc #npsa
