Higher Education has been identified as a sector of concern by the UK National Cyber Security Centre and is faced with many unique challenges. These range from onboarding 10’s of thousands of new staff and students each year – all of which need secure credential management and training – to managing the free flow of information required by academics with secure processes and practices.
