CyberNorth Insight Seminar
From Breach to Recovery: Lessons from Instructure & SUNET
While some information was shared during and after the attack on the LMS platform Canvas, many students, educators, and cybersecurity professionals were left with questions. What actually happened? How were decisions made? What lessons can be learned? As educators and students in cybersecurity, we simply asked the organisations at the centre of the attack whether they would be willing to share their experiences with the broader cybersecurity community. To their credit, both Instructure and SUNET immediately responded with openness and a willingness to contribute.

This Insight Seminar is the result...
Rather than focusing on headlines or speculation, this session offers a unique opportunity to learn directly from those involved, reflect on the technical, organisational, legal, and ethical challenges they faced, and discuss the lessons that can help strengthen our collective cybersecurity resilience. Cybersecurity attacks will continue to happen. By sharing experiences and lessons learned, we can better prepare the next generation of cybersecurity professionals for the realities they will face in practice.
This seminar is arranged as an initiative by the Master's Programme in Cybersecurity at Luleå University of Technology, a partner in Cybercampus Sweden, in collaboration with #CyberNorth.
