As universities and colleges across the UK return for a new academic year, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has warned IT security teams to be on their guard against cyber-attacks, particularly ransomware.
There is a very good reason for this. The last few months have seen several major UK universities hit by cyber-attacks, including ransomware. Some of these attacks have been devastating in their impact and recovery time. Elsewhere, UK universities in the race to find a vaccine for COVID-19 have found themselves the target of hostile state hackers.
Universities are a tempting target for adversaries, ranging from nation-state threat actors in search of intellectual property to common cyber thieves looking to make some easy money.
