OVERVIEW
Network security for Universities
A foundation for digital success
In today’s world, cyber threats are more sophisticated and dangerous than ever. MI5 has warned UK universities about the growing risks posed by cyber-criminals, not only those seeking financial gain but also those attempting to undermine national security. Higher education institutions hold sensitive research, intellectual property, and personal data, making them prime targets.
Without the right protections in place, even a single breach can cause long-term damage; financially, reputationally, and operationally.
Block is partnering with universities to implement secure-by-design networks, giving IT teams the tools and visibility they need to stay ahead of threats and protect students, staff, and research.
With our solutions, you can:
- React quickly to threats and limit how long attackers stay in your system.
- Lower long-term risks with cost-effective security measures.
- Contain breaches by breaking the network into secure segments.
- Let users connect safely on campus and remotely with extended perimeter defences.
- Find hidden risks by spotting unknown devices on your network.
