but challenging struggle: each time a threat was resolved, a new one appeared. By swapping the complex infrastructure that it was using previously to one integrated and open security platform, the SOC team has been able to free up resources and focus on more strategic tasks.”
Lee Evans, Assistant Director of IT Infrastructure, Cardiff University, said:“ We hope never to need to use the Unit 42 Incident Response team to recover from a cybersecurity incident or data breach. However, it provides the reassurance that we can bring in experts if required to help us to recover as soon as possible.”

How has Cardiff University’ s cybersecurity strategy evolved to address the growing volume and sophistication of cyberthreats facing the higher education sector?
The university’ s cyberstrategy is focused on people, processes and technology. This is delivered by a commitment to work within cybersecurity industry frameworks, forging partnerships with key vendors / industry partners to adopt a‘ defend as one approach’ and using our internal resources to deliver proactive cybersecurity operations. The strategy also recognises the importance of adopting technology that facilitates automated detection, response and remediation in response to the speed at which any vulnerabilities can be exploited.
