Further Education: Cybersecurity
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for (a) Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and (b) the Home Department on the changes to funding of Jisc for cyber security at Further Education Colleges.
- Answer
-
The department funds Jisc to provide information and communications technology infrastructure and related services to further education colleges in England through the Janet computer network. We will continue to cover most of these costs when the college subscriptions are introduced.
Jisc has developed its cyber-security capability over a number of years as an integral part of Janet. Any college using the network benefits from this capability. We have not discussed the revised funding arrangements with other departments.
