From ransomware to espionage, educational institutions face a growing number of cybersecurity threats – which is why the University of Toronto is working with schools in Canada and abroad to thwart attacks by sharing data in real-time.
For nearly a year, the Canadian Shared Security Operations Centre (CanSSOC), for which U of T serves as administrative lead, has been piloting a threat feed that sends members immediate information on suspicious activity and potential breaches, all while protecting the anonymity of affected institutions.
