Why OpSy is Important

Research institutions operate in an increasingly complex security environment where threats to intellectual property, researcher safety, and institutional integrity are evolving rapidly.

Research and innovation are increasingly targeted by hostile actors seeking strategic, economic or military advantage.

Intellectual property and valuable knowledge can be lost through theft, inappropriate disclosure or insecure partnerships.

International collaborations can create complex security challenges that are not always obvious to researchers.

Many emerging technologies have dual-use potential, creating risks that research may be applied in ways that were never intended.

Universities face increasing legal, regulatory and funding obligations relating to research security and trusted research.

Security incidents can impact people, partnerships, reputation and future funding opportunities.
