The tertiary education sector is an attractive target for cyber attacks because education agencies and providers hold a lot of personal and other information.

Cyber Security for the Tertiary Sector was an initiative that aimed to raise awareness of the critical importance of cyber security and provide clear guidance and support for everyone in the sector.

While CSTS has now closed, the many valuable resources and education provided by the initiative are still available.
