Defending universities and research, part 2

Universities and research institutes saw an upswing in cyber attacks during the pandemic.

But even before 2020, the sector was finding itself under increasing threat, from ransomware, espionage, and also because of underinvestment in technology and training.

Our guests in this episode are Allie Mellen, an analyst covering security and risk, at Forrester, and previously an academic researcher at MIT, and Mark Wantling, the CIO at Salford University. They discuss the threats, and possible solutions, with Security Insights editor Stephen Pritchard.
