CYBER SECURITY
Cyber security attacks are on the rise and should be a major concern for all organisations and individuals.
Why We Believe This Matters
The Tertiary Education Commission (TEC), together with NZQA and MoE, is working on improving cyber security maturity across the education sector in New Zealand.
AECTP supports this initiative and is part of the PTE Advisory Group, which has been set up as part of a project to provide advice and guidance to the Cyber Security for the Tertiary Sector (CSTS) initiative.
You can check out TEC's website and read the latest information on the progress they are making.
As the project develops, we will inform you of progress and offer you to have your say. Many smaller providers have limited time and resources, while Cyber Security is outside the top of the priority list. That is, until something goes horribly wrong. The media regularly reports on breaches of Cyber Security with potentially catastrophic implications for organisations. By working collectively to improve knowledge and resource availability, the sector can improve the odds against suffering from potential threats.

TEC is offering free cyber security assessments so providers can get a clear sense of their level of security and how to become safer. Typically, such an assessment would cost around $5,000. Click on the image below to see further details.

Feedback
TEC has drawn on guidance and advice from expert cyber security organisations, notably CERT NZ, to develop cyber security controls, which will be published on the TEC website. They provide measures organisations can take to improve their cyber security, grouped under three headings: People, Process and Technology. You can click on the image or the button below to view the draft cyber security controls. Once read, you can contribute to the process and give the group your feedback.
