A breach is a governance event before it is a technical one.

The leadership read

A breach is a governance event before it is a technical one. For Copenhagen University in the sector, the hiring consequence is rarely more engineers; it is senior accountability: security, risk and data governance reporting high enough to change decisions. Across EMEA, watch whether the response is a hire or a contractor; that distinction says how the board has read it.

Market context: MitchelLake's Talent Market Index sits at 97.6 (Neutral), down 3.4 on the prior month; EMEA hiring signal is running rising (+5.9pts).

Copenhagen University: 1 signal in the last 90 days.
