and education network to which all UK colleges, universities and research centres are connected. </p><p>Effective from 1 April, 2022, there are three key principles that we are adding to the updated policy, and perhaps the most important is the new obligation for connected organisations to undertake an annual self-assessment of their security posture. </p><p>Against a background of increasing threats, it is important for organisations to understand their strengths and weaknesses in order to raise security maturity across the sector. </p><p>If a cyber incident badly impacts one organisation

us there is a variance in skills and resources within institutions, so we don't want to be too draconian on this: we want to work with members to raise the bar, to help them assess where they are and guide them along that never-ending journey to improving security. </p><p>Colleges and universities can use whatever model or framework works best for that assessment. We will collaborate through our <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20221221231228/https://www.jisc.ac.uk/get-involved/cyber-security-community-group">security community group</a> to see if there is a consensus on which method is preferable or whether we should work together to develop a sector-specific model. </p><p>While there's no obligation on members to reveal results of their assessment with Jisc, we see there could be real benefits from sharing data to help provide a broader picture of security in education and research. This would help Jisc understand the gaps and plan how best to support the sector to fill them. </p><p>Sharing data in this way could also allow for individual benchmarking against peers. For example, we might tell a member that they are in the ‘top’ quartile of universities; or perhaps the bottom quartile because they haven't got as many specialist security staff and controls in place as other organisations of a similar size. Obviously, we would treat this data confidentially and would not share details publicly. </p><aside class="article-full__callout article-full__callout--hang-right"><blockquote><p><p>While there's no obligation on members to reveal results of their assessment with Jisc, we see there could be real benefits from sharing data to help provide a broader picture of security in education and research. </p></p></blockquote></aside><p>The second change to the policy concerns the existing GeoIP restrictions, because this has been commonly used as a vector for ransomware attacks against the sector for the past couple of years. </p><p>After 1 April, Jisc will consider blocking access to other high-risk protocols or ports in response to new and specific intelligence, and the existing restrictions will shift from an opt-in control to being on by default. </p><p>Members will be given plenty of advance warning before we make this change and can, if required, opt out of this additional layer of protection. </p><aside class="article-full__callout article-full__callout--hang-right"><blockquote><p><p>...the updated policy allows for proactive scans in response to critical vulnerability alerts or actionable threat intelligence. </p></p></blockquote></aside><p>The third principle we are adding to the Janet security policy is an enhancement to Jisc’s <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20221221231228/https://www.jisc.ac.uk/csirt">computer security incident response team’s (CSIRT)</a> remit to perform vulnerability scans across the Janet Network as a whole. </p><p>Currently, <span class="lexicon-term has-tooltip" title="computer security and incident response team"><abbr title="computer security and incident response team">CSIRT</abbr></span> carries out vulnerability scans on an exceptional basis only, but the updated policy allows for proactive scans in response to critical vulnerability alerts or actionable threat intelligence. </p><p>This means <span class="lexicon-term has-tooltip" title="computer security and incident response team"><abbr title="computer security and incident response team">CSIRT</abbr></span> will be better able to identify vulnerabilities that may present a serious threat to the security of the Janet Network or services provided over it.
