🔒💻 At Diamond Light Source, we recognize that resilience in research is more crucial than ever, especially in the face of evolving cybersecurity challenges. Cheryn Tan, Senior Cyber Security Officer at Diamond, shares how Diamond is navigating unique challenges while tailoring its security awareness initiatives to an audience composed largely of scientists and research support staff. ⬇ GÉANT #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth
Diamond Light Source, the UK’s national synchrotron facility, plays a key role in global #research, with over 14,000 researchers from around the world accessing its systems and data, around the clock. This constant access and the nature of its operations means Diamond faces unique #security challenges. For #CyberSecMonth, we asked Senior #Cybersecurity Officer Cheryn T. how the facility is navigating these challenges while tailoring its #SecurityAwareness initiatives to an audience composed largely of scientists and research support staff: https://lnkd.in/e7JKpJ9G GÉANT SURF Belnet Switch GARR CARNET - Croatian Academic and Research Network Jisc European Cyber Security Month European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) #CSM24 #CyberSecurityAwareness #synchrotron #UK #phishing #ransomware #ResearchInfrastructures

🚀🔴To kick off #WorldSpaceWeek we're looking at some research on the Red Planet. By analysing Martian meteorites, we've discovered that interactions between water and rocks on Mars produced organic molecules around 3.6 to 4 billion years ago. This groundbreaking study helps us understand the potential for life on Mars and the planet's geological past. 🌌🔬 Find out more in the full feature here. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eF7W5FPy #WorldSpaceWeek #MarsResearch #SpaceScience
