Upcoming events from Surrey Cyber Team

After a busy 2023 at Surrey, with some highlights including winning Cyber University of the Year in the National Cyber Awards along with our colleagues in Surrey Centre for Cyber Security, we have a lot of activities planned for 2024, and therefore wanted to highlight some public engagement events coming up.

UCISA webinar on Microsoft A3 and A5 controls

This will cover a timeline of security improvements delivered at Surrey as well as recommendations and lessons-learned for other universities’ security teams, with emphasis on incident response and controls improvement and how the Microsoft licensed controls form part of a defence-in-depth approach.
