State Threats and Universities Report
This report highlights the growing threats UK universities face from state actors and shares case studies to help them understand these risks and how to respond to them effectively.
The mission of PSL is to protect people, places and organisations by applying research to security problems in areas such as physical security, maritime security and behavioural science.
PSL collaborates closely with government agencies, industry leaders and academic institutions to identify and understand security risks. The lab employs a range of methods and disciplines to devise practical solutions, drawing on expertise from physical, personnel and cyber security. This multidisciplinary approach enables PSL to quickly adapt to and address emerging threats effectively.
With strong connections and access to extensive research facilities, PSL operates independently, providing effective, research-driven solutions to contemporary security challenges, learning from past experiences and considering future possibilities.
Areas of work:
- Insider risk and personnel security
- The personal security of people in public life
- Protecting public places
