Further Education: Cybersecurity
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment his Department has made of the potential risk to cyber security of further education colleges deciding to opt-out of paying for Jisc’s essential cyber security support services as a result of the decision to reduce Jisc’s funding and introduce subscription fees.
- Answer
-
At present further education colleges benefit from the high quality of cyber-security offered through Jisc. Any college who chooses to opt out from using Jisc services will need to ensure they have an appropriate level of cyber-security in place in order to safeguard their systems, staff and learners. Provided they do so, there should be no additional risk.
