The Information Security (InfoSec) team provides services to the collegiate University to support a unified and collaborative approach to reducing risks to personal information, research data and operational systems.
What is information security?
Information security refers to the technologies, policies and practices used to protect confidentiality, integrity and availability of information from cyber-attacks and other types of threat.
Why is information security important?
Information is critical to all University of Oxford operations. Any failure to protect our information automatically increases the risk of:
Disruption to important activities
Reputational damage to the university
Potential monetary loss
Tony Brett, Chief Information Security Officer, University of Oxford.
Information security is critical to all University of Oxford activities and it takes more than just a central team to achieve and maintain good cyber posture. Our Teams in InfoSec are here to help you carry out teaching, research, innovation, and administration securely and safely, ensuring our University's data is available when you need it, its integrity is assured, and only those who need to see it can see it.
How can I take action?
If you have concerns or need some support to take action on your cyber security, or you just want to update your
knowledge
, our aim is to provide you with the
training
and support that you need to be security savvy every day.
