MBO fully connected to SURF
MBO institutions have been able to become members of SURF since 2014. Thanks to the services, knowledge and procurement within the security domain, the entire sector has become members at lightning speed. Through SURF, members can make use of the Security Operations Centre (SOC) or Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT), among others, to greatly increase their cyber resilience.
'A lot is changing on the social and technological front. Scalda is keen to cooperate with fellow educational institutions in SURF to meet these challenges. That way we can contribute even better to the development of our students and our region.'
In addition to a large knowledge component within SURF, joint procurement of digital products and services is also arranged centrally through SURF for its members. On behalf of the education and research sector, SURF conducts talks with large tech companies on, for example, the price and conditions associated with software. In this way, we jointly go for the best price and can ensure that the privacy and data of researchers and students are handled properly.
