What we offer in terms of security

Awareness

SURF institutions share and develop knowledge to raise awareness:

Solutions that help users make everyday work, learning and research safer:

Organisation

Solutions that allow you to monitor, evaluate and optimise security policies and measures.

Collaboration and communities

We also work together in various communities to develop and share knowledge, skills and experience around security.

Foundational security for your institution and the sector

Technology, awareness, organisation, and collaboration reinforce one another and form the foundation of your institution’s security. When both institutions and users apply technology correctly, it greatly enhances safety. That’s why we work together to raise security awareness and keep technology up to date. We continuously test policies and measures, while keeping an eye on context and future developments. With SURF’s range of services, you can determine how to strengthen your institution’s cyber resilience – creating a secure digital learning and working environment.

Security embedded in all our activities

Security is not a standalone concept, it is integrated into all SURF services and activities. You’ll find security features across areas such as Network Connectivity (SURFdomains), Procurement (SURF Vendor Compliance), and Identity & Access Management (SURFsecureID).
