Cybercrimes are becoming progressively more sophisticated. This increases risk to the reputation, privacy, intellectual property, and financial resources of organizations, including B.C.’s post-secondary institutions.
Universities and colleges depend on information technology to deliver their educational programs. They combine technologies, processes, and practices to protect networks and data. Each institution’s board of governors is responsible for oversight of cybersecurity risk management.

We expect to release our report in summer 2023.
