Silent Presentation

The Biggest Cyber Threat to Education?
A Lack of Collaboration

Cybercriminals collaborate. Threat intelligence is shared globally, and attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated. At the same time, universities and education institutions often continue to address challenges that affect the entire sector on an individual basis. During this session, Joost Reijne, Executive Consultant at Fox-IT, will guide you through real-world examples of sector-wide cybersecurity collaboration and explore the lessons that higher education institutions can learn from them.

The financial sector recognized years ago that competition and collaboration can successfully coexist. By working together on cybersecurity, banks have significantly strengthened the resilience of the sector as a whole. 

This presentation challenges participants to look beyond the boundaries of their own institution. What can universities learn from other industries? Which opportunities remain untapped today? And what would it take for the education sector to become truly stronger than the sum of its individual institutions?
