Online teaching and learning, a post-pandemic trend towards hybrid working, and the attraction of valuable research, student, and other critical data, has positioned Universities as high value targets for cyber-criminals over recent years.

 
 

What’s the problem in Higher Education?

95% of cybersecurity issues can be traced to Human error 

World Economic Forum Global Risk Report 2022 

Inadequate 1st-line 'human' defences are the primary causes of cybercrime within higher education. Over 90% of cybercrime incidents are now caused by criminals targeting staff or students, often through phishing attacks. While easily preventable, 97% of people around the globe cannot identify a phishing email and 74% download potentially malicious files due to a lack of cyber awareness.

The Expede Solution

Human error is by far the biggest cause of security incidents and tackling this is key to reducing attacks. Targetted training for both staff and students rapidly cuts down the number of data breaches and successful phishing attacks, and regular testing keeps that number down.

Our Security Awareness Training, provided in conjunction with leaders in the industry, equips staff and students to recognise (and react to) cyber threats.
