Abstract

In the wake of the global pandemic, higher education institutions have faced numerous challenges, not only in terms of maintaining academic continuity but also in safeguarding their digital infrastructure against ever-evolving cyber threats. The shift towards remote learning and increased reliance on technology has exposed educational institutions to new vulnerabilities, making cybersecurity a critical concern. Through a comprehensive exploration of cybersecurity in the context of higher education, crisis management, problem-solving strategies, and leadership competencies, this chapter aims to equip educational stakeholders with the knowledge and tools necessary to fortify their institutions against cyber threats, using the University of Sunderland in London as a case study. By understanding the interconnectedness of these areas, educational leaders can proactively protect their digital assets, and foster a resilient educational environment in the face of future challenges.
